IMHO, one of the coolest things about this was that an LA Times reporter traveled with the Fleming crew to document the adventure. (There will be a documentary movie, too.) The excellent LA Times article is available at Caltech Goes Low Tech to Get Its Cannon Back;

Our Assistant VP for Student Life, Tom Mannion, also came on the trip to coordinate things with MIT authorities and make sure the team wouldn’t be bothered. How many universities can you think of where a high-level administrator will take a weekend and a cross-country trip to support a prank? I love Caltech.
