Everyone's a winner!
It's Wednesday. We have the long-awaited caption contest results and a cool space video, just because space is cool.
Just kidding, only one person is a winner, and it's SimplEEngineering. Congratulations, you're the April Caption Contest champion - $100 in SparkFun credit is coming your way! Remember to use it for good, not for evil.
As a thank you to everyone else who contributed to the contest, we'll leave you with a treat. SparkFun has a robust email chain culture; on any given day at least one of us will send out a company-wide email about whatever interesting, geeky thing is happening on the internet lately, and the thread begins. Yesterday we all got excited about SpaceX's newest flight test for the Grasshopper, a 10-story, vertical takeoff/vertical landing vehicle intended to return to Earth intact. Unlike most rockets, which are designed to burn up in the atmosphere during re-entry, SpaceX's rockets are being designed to return to the launch pad for a vertical landing. It's pretty cool, so we thought we'd share it with you for some mid-week excitement!

See you tomorrow for the maiden voyage of an awesome new blog post series!
