Yeah, well, I'm sure NASA is already wondering the same thing with the ISS, seeing how Russia is currently the only method they have of bringing people to and from the station. At this point though, at least the science community has been able to keep peace.

As always, I'm a bit skeptical. Not that it can't be done, but how effective can these actually be? How many lumens will it produce? How long will the plants live? Will they produce more seeds? Is bioluminescence a dominant trait? Or will future generations of my night light glow dimmer? Oh the botany!

So sign language isn't really one-to-one, but that is something that I really want to work with, so I look forward to getting a unit. I think this system has a lot of potential as a learning tool! Awesome job guys!

I was thinking along the same lines. If, for instance, a car is stopped on top of the bag in traffic, or at a red light, then I imagine accelerating while on the bag could cause potential ripping, or depending on how deep the hole is, it could pull the bag right out, leaving it as a hazard for other cars. Not to completely discount this idea though, because I do think it's quite innovative.

Right, but I would say that the general startup mentality is that you will be working more than the average work day. So telling people to work longer, rather than inspiring people to work longer, is usually not the best way to go about it. To what extent can you actually require someone to work longer anyway?
