Hi Ted,<\/em><\/p>\n

This makes FOUR groups who have reached agreement with TRUMPF<\/a>; the TXL Group<\/a>, the National Space Society (NSS)<\/a>, the Kansas City Space Pirates<\/a> and the Queens Space Engineering Team<\/a>.\u00a0 Add these four to the other two laser-powered teams, Lasermotive<\/a> and USST<\/a>, and you have at least six teams planning on powering their climbers with lasers this year.<\/p>\n
