I had the chance to interview one of people involved in the restoration of a DHC-5 Buffalo as a tribute to Canadian Peacekeepers and the crew and passengers of the last flight of Canadian Forces Buffalo 115461. Visit the link above, Buffalo 461 for more information on the restoration project.

You can send your very own satellite to space for less than $10,000. Interorbital Systems is making space experimentation a possibility for the average space enthusiast.
