The ARISS press release was time critical due to the fact that a school full of people were literally standing by to receive a call from the ISS that failed to take place. In addition, ARISS has additional scheduled events that may need to be re-scheduled due to the failure. Making some sort of statement quickly was necessary.

Jeff, was not the entire AMSAT membership waiting 3 years for the launch of Fox-1E? Was not the entire AMSAT membership waiting to have ONE functional satellite back in our fleet? ARISS events can be, and often are, rescheduled, are they not?
