Robert,
You commented:
"As for AMSAT's ARISSsat transponder. Well we will see if it works. They are not exactly burning up the track record with success. We have had this argument and I am willing to sit back and see if it goes, but it is far to much project for the program. Most of the folks I know at JSC give it less then 20 percent chance of working...In fact it was a source of mirth at a recent BDAY party."
All your e-mails give the impression that you are well positioned within JSC and "know all" that is going on within NASA. But when I did a Search for your name within the NASA employee and contractor database, the database comes up empty handed.
Given that I am a "facts and data" kind of guy, what up with this? And how are you all knowing??? What do you really do for a living?? Who are these people you are talking to that are so opinionated?
Or are you using another alias besides Robert Oler or Rocky Jones? Or is all you are posting on this listserv just your own kind of fluff??
Inquiring minds want to know.
