I have been an AMSAT-NA member since the early 1982. I have volunteered extensively for this organization. And have led several key projects. Despite the negativism I have seen lately, I am still VERY PROUD of this team and organization. It is not perfect.no organization is. But if you look at our history, we have done some pretty darn amazing things for a volunteer organization---past and present.
What I find sad are those on amsat-bb that constantly bash AMSAT-NA. They provide no help (money or time). And only THEY are right. Are we all that short sighted?? I hope not.
We are still doing some pretty amazing things. And we have some great projects that need three major items to be successful:
1) Money 2) YOUR volunteer time and 3) Some additional leaders to bring these projects to fruition.
So let's stop the petty bickering. That is too easy. Let's do the hard stuff..lead by volunteering your time and talent ..and let's build some vehicles that fly in space!
