I have a legit one Schmenke. Now it would retail at 987,892,870 dollars but it can be yours for 379,270,294.

What do you say?


Anyway it is an amazing achievement. A company in my home town were involved in building lots of the sensor equipment involved.

E2V technologies take a bow. Only a small part but hey.
