[amsat-bb] THE ROUGH TREATMENT OF ARISSAT-1

I don't quite understand the "high-fiving" going on in regards to "Congrats on the deployment of Arissat-1". Bullshit. Someone's ASS should be on the line for the rough treatment of this "project" (as NASA TV kept referring to it as). As far as I'M concerned...they sent out INEXPERIENCED rookies to deploy something that, while minor in the grand scheme of projects undertaken by ISS/NASA, was still important to US and the university that built the pressure experiment onboard. What if these cosmonauts DID destroy it? What if it had to be brought back to Earth? Who would have paid for it? Or would it have been a loss for the contributors involved?

My 2 cents!'
