I understand that the AmSat BB is 99% serious business. I think it's time to lighten the mood a bit. I'm going to (try to) fund a new project. I want to place a satellite with a full-sized 160m beam into orbit. I want this thing to be "highly polished" or plated in Chrome. (It will put the Russian "space mirror" to shame), and be visible during daylight hours. I think the flares will catch the interest of people, and draw them into this insane hobby. How's that for a dumb idea? (I'll shut up now...) _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
