Nice! ...may I suggest only the words AMSAT be chrome plated and studded with bright white LEDs :)

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?
