Hope you left them a business card for when they have a clearout of exhibits Joe?
 
You would need a big net and a very long pole to catch one though :shock:
Don't think NASA or any other space agency been too pleased either :roll:
 
:shock: That is a pretty cool haul!
EDIT:
It just occurred to me, you just took a picture of it didn't you? You didn't bring it home, did you?
 
the gold shielding that you can see is gold over Mylar about the same thickness as the silvered balloons you get your wife and kids.you can see through it if you hold it up to the light. what i understand is the electronics used inside have to be fail-safe so there's many feet of gold alloy wire on the inside.
