In american english both mean the same thing. There's no implication of a broken promise.
My problem with some amsat-bb users is that they are complaining about transient personnel issues that have no long-term relavence to the amateur satellite program but completely ignore the big problem. I makes me wonder how much money that they have given to AMSAT-NA, AMSAT-UK or AMSAT-DL and doesn't encourage those of us who donate our time and money.

No, the quote is that they can not afford the price given by Arianespace.
That is not the same thing. You are exagerating the facts (again)
