Want To Own A Top Secret Skunkworks Project?

I saw this on Slashdot this morning and knew I had to post it. It is an Ebay auction for a fake space rock/surveillance satellite developed for Lockheed Skunkworks. Here's an interesting quote from the auction's description.

"In 2002-2003, I was the Chief Technology Officer for a Boston-based hardware research and development firm, Advanced Wireless Automation (AWA). As CTO I was responsible for technical oversight related to the design and implementation of a wireless surveillance product we were bringing to market for Lockheed Martin, and this particular project was for a group within Lockheed that was a spinoff of their SkunkWorks advanced research and development group which reported directly to the Lockheed CEO and Board of Directors. I held ten percent founder's shares in AWA, and I hosted all of AWA's corporate email and related data on my own personal servers and equipment at my datacenter.

"Our product was codenamed the RockCam, which was a high speed custom embedded platform for high resolution covert imagery and audio acquisition, enclosed inside of a fake rock. The RockCam was intended to be a wireless Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) platform for critical infrastructure protection initiatives such as nuclear power plant security, oil rig and gas pipeline monitoring, power plant surveillance, etc."

Basically, the seller was screwed out of his 10% stake in the company and is selling this to raise money for a legal battle.

The price? A cool $10,000,000.
