How interesting! We will follow-up with you next week. Of course our readers are interested in the metals angles so perhaps you can share some thoughts on that! LAR Tim,

That included hotels, transportation, and meals for the team during the race. I understand that the University of Michigan had a budget in excess of $2,000,000. I think it would be an interesting story to analyze how Principia was able to do it, because it speaks to the cost effectiveness of solar technology. Let's talk more.
