Rep. Grayson,

I currently work in Hillsborough County, and I have lived there in the past (and voted for you!) and will soon live there again. In short, I think you've done well so far.

However, I naturally distrust members of Congress, as do many Americans. There are too many that cave to corporate interests in order to get campaign contributions (and to ensure they get to be fat cat lobbyists when they retire). I'd like to think you are not one of these, but I'd like some guarantee from you.

I want you to take this pledge, to not become a lobbyist when you retire, so we can know that you are one of the few politicians who can be trusted -- one of the few that have our interests at heart rather than your own economic goals.

Will you do this?

If not, why?

Fair enough.

Even so, it would be a good gesture to build momentum to pressure the less scrupulous members of our government.

Thanks for all of the insight into the mission!

As a software developer/I.T. guy, I'm curious about the automatic restart that is supposed to happen if it "crashes" during the burn... it's been highlighted a few times, but I haven't caught any of the details.

Is that something "simple" like a persistent variable (e.g. seconds_left_to_burn) that picks up when it reboots? Or is it something more sophisticated like high-precision guidance systems that can re-calculate the burn parameters "on-the-fly"?
