Yes Phil, you are correct. Communications and earth observation in orbit are great examples of space applications that have succeeded. But, they are also things that we've already done. I admit that there is probably more to explore and learn here, near to us, but I was really thinking about

Let's consider what we got from the Russians: they gave us a FREE 26 kilogram launch to low Earth orbit, with 20 times the mass and 75 times the volume of a 1U Cubesat, which is currently the only type of satellite that Amsat can hope to pay full market price for launching. NASA donated the six
