mooter, if a Valence battery was on the Mars probe, why wouldn't Valence announce this through a PR? Why the secret? You'd think such a public announcement would be helpful to Lev in his quest to sell more shares at higher prices.

Also, if a Valence battery was on the Mars probe, I assume we will see revenue from the sale of at least one battery on the next 10-Q. Given that their customer is the government, they should have been able to sell that battery for at least 10X its market price.

Mooter,
I will try and check out the Valence Battery to NASA ( JPL )
I live about five miles from JPL and have a few friends who work for JPL ( Jet Propulsion Laboratory )
It would validate the quality of the battery, but NASA is never a good customer for a production high tech product.

I'm real excited about having our companies product on a Mars probe. Now, if we can just get NASA to do 10,000 to 15,000 Mars probes per week, we can begin to see some profits to ... what? what do you mean no. Oh well, any other customers out there anywhere?
