The videos were amazing. I never knew it was possible to train a raccoon to manoeuvre a space craft with such precision. It's amazing what can be done with patience and Jello. I know this was a collaborative project between you and the Mexican "Mapache Espacio Sideral Scientific" project, but I think Eric and Angela really deserve most of the credit.
