5/10: solar aircraft

[Undertoad]

This is a NASA craft, and apparently its role is to fly over Hawaii, taking pictures of the coffee crop to determine exactly when it is ripe for picking. They say it will greatly improve the coffee.

I guess. Best coffee I've ever had is from New Guinea, where they don't fly over the beans, even with a pedal-operated glider, and they can't even afford to take a Polaroid of the guy who picks the beans, or have a logo with a donkey or anything. I'd get better coffee from NASA if they installed a reminder device on my fridge door to tell me when I'm outta cream, and it would be a lot more cost-effective.

I mean, it seems like every pound of coffee has been carefully mined for every last bit of possible profit, and we don't really need NASA vehicles helping in the cause. Especially since we're provoking a Colombian civil war by telling them they can't make money growing coca plants and should try to make more money on legit agriculture.
