       | Website has a link to a YT video that explains it, but basically
       | free service to upload your pic, get a selfie taken on satellite
       | in space, sent back to you. Free.

         | From the FAQ it sounds like it may take a few months:
         | 
         | "The first batch of selfies should be returning mid-summer and
         | we will email you ahead of time. If you want to jump closer to
         | the front of the queue and not wait a few months, please make
         | sure you are an active CrunchLabs subscriber (Build Box, Hack
         | Pack). Or, if you're an educator, send an email to
         | help@crunchlabs.com and let us know that your selfie is a class
         | photo and we'll take your selfie first!"

       | My kids have loved watching Mark Robers videos, have the
       | subscriptions (one of both the backpack and crunchpack), and we
       | uploaded our video for SatGus.

       | If you have young kids (6-15) these are perfect educational
       | tools. Highly recommend. Only downside is some of them are a bit
       | "mischievous". For example a "Bobbie trap" that launches balls at
       | whomever tripped the wire. Good times...

       | But come on, can we consider NOT burning our precious fossil fuel
       | for... for what? Pseudo-selfies ?

         | At this point, couldn't that just comp the selfie with
         | automation? Who would ever know if it was actually displayed in
         | spaaaaace or not?

       | Is there a limit to what you can upload? I figure they're not
       | just going to let people upload a million pictures, but can I do
       | one per kid?
