Do you reckon they're gonna find it?

And the actual capsule thing is so small, I will be amazed if they find it along that very, very long route from Newman to Perth. Does it look hot if you see it in night vision or infra red?

Well, yeah. I believe that's what they're doing. It is a needle in a haystack though at this point. And I'd bet that they tried looking for it before they announced publicly that it had been lost. I just wondered if it would have a strong glow at night under night vision and would perhaps stand out.
