No, not $300K worth of cool, unless you were the one to hit the $1.73 bil Powerball...grin, but pretty neat.

Great story! I called my dad last night after I sent him the link. He remembered meeting him with a couple of the others but couldn't remember if I was tagging along that day. I think I was there. We went to look at this huge camera (and by huge, I mean this thing filled the center of the room and was as tall as my dad, facing upwards) that was used to track orbiting objects. This group of guys came in and there was a lot of general hubbub around them. I remember my dad smiling and shaking hands.
