Well, it remains to be seen just how long we'll last. I think we
probably over-engineered this thing, and I wouldn't be surprised if it
continues to float long after the batteries die. We did mark it to give
us a chance of getting it back should it be discovered on a beach someday.

We're already tossing around lots of ideas for a follow-on. Beware the
second system effect...
