Brian,

With all due respect to your comments, they are vague and subjective

and it is difficult to understand your dilemma. I noticed your website

is for the lunar X-prize. If you asked AMSAT to partner or somehow

become involved in that and was rejected, declined or ignored, then I

would believe that is not part of the organizations mission statement nor funding criteria.

If you have expertise in the production of satellites etc. and are

volunteering to bring "that to the table," then I can understand your

frustration and disappointment. In fact, I would wonder myself as to

why your expertise would not be utilized.

Judging from the amount of email I'm getting on the side, It does not

appear that I'm the only unhappy "horse" in the barn.

Hi,

I'm the president of PropelX (www.propelX.com

http://www.propelx.com/ ) and a member of AMSAT . I've come to the

conclusion over that last couple of months of asking questions and

offering to help on satellites (only to be jerked around), That the

only space that AMSAT is concerned about is their own . I will not be

renewing my membership.
