[SpaceProgram] DARPA Grant Awarded.... Stay Tooned for details!

[Alex Cureton-Griffiths]

Been thinking long and hard about how to respond to this. Basically: WOOOOHOOOOO!!!! I'm skipping around the house, singing zippedy doodah and playing air guitar to Blur's Song No. 2 (aka the woohoo song)

For the kick-off meeting, do we suggest a time to DARPA or do they "suggest" a time to us?
