You will a need a few other bits, pick 'em up on your way home, from Woolies.
Spend a few nights in the comfort of your own home, building it on
your kitchen table.
IF you are having trouble assembling the bits, fitting the batteries
etc, these guys can help.

Thats the easy bits done ;-)
Using a slingshot won't launch it high enough, chucking it off your
house roof won't work either.
So......phone up NASA at Cape Canaveral.

See IF you can get someone on the next Space Shuttle mission
to take it onboard, as carry on baggage ;-)
Tell them to simply throw your Sat out the Space Shuttle toilet
window, just before it docks with ISS
Mission accomplished!
