안녕하세요, 인공위성프로젝트를 진행중인 송호준입니다.

인공위성 발사일이 올해에서 다음해 (2013년 4월15일)로 밀려 2012년 2월초까지 인공위성을 최종 테스트 / 업그레이드 할 예정입니다. 이번이 마지막이라는 각오로 최선을 다해서 완성해보고자 합니다.
허나 이렇다보니 그 동안 돈을 벌 길이 막막하여 혹시나 집에 여유분의 자금이 있으신 분들께 연이자 3.1%로 잠시 돈을 빌려보려고 이렇게 글을 쓰게 되었습니다.
차용증서는 소장가치를 부여하기 위하여 고유의 번호가 새겨지고 인류 최초의 개인 인공위성 사진도 포함되어있습니다.
연말연시 즐거운 시간을 보내시다가 혹시나 여유금이 생기시는 여유있는 분들의 많은 관심 부탁드립니다.

송호준 드림

OSSI went Wired 2012 event and talked. Had a great time there.

I spoke more honest than my previous talks this time.

One experience at the Malmö was the Spa at Kallbadhus. You sauna and jump into the baltic sea naked.
