	So, if we could get 10% of the active S@H users to contribute $1 each, we could have our own satellite. ____________

Google Earth has a time function so you can see how a location changes over time. But I know there are some places where they have not updated the pictures for 10 years or more.

But acording to this article ive read they are in low orbit and will evetualy fall back to earth. Also acording to this article the University of California, Berkeley ( sound familiar lol ) used the Cubesat for their Ions, Neutrals, Electrons, Magnetic Fields projects. ____________
