   Hi August,

    AA> FYI, it hasn't made it to ASTRONOMY on 396/45 yet.   
      
   That's odd, because he is connected to that area on my system, so he got it   
   direct. (And my outbound is empty)   
      
    WvV>> It's now, a day after launch, almost 240 km from earth.   
                                               ^^^^^^   
   That should have been: 240K km! :/   
      
    WvV>> That's not even half way the distance to the moon. And   
    WvV>> about 16,5% of the distance to it's destination point in   
    WvV>> space. It will take about 29 days [..]   
      
    AA> The physics/math/mechanics to make all the happen seems

   Indeed.

    AA> That's a nice page. It kinda reminds me of the days watching

   That also took days? ;-)   
      
    AA> But what do the gaps between day 2-3, 9-10, 11-12, 14-15, 26-29   
    AA> represent?   
      
   I don't know, I was wondering about that too. And it doesn't seem to correlate   
   too well to the deployment steps...   
      
    AA> At about 1.5-2mi/sec hope there isn't any teeny tiny debri that   
    AA> can render it useless.   
      
   There's always that tiny, tiny, tiny risk. But it's already well beyond the   
   "commercial" earth orbits, so that debri wouldn't be human made...   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
