   Indeed-  if true - which I doubt.   
   There is a James Follett radio play I was listening to earlier on which   
   a system of satellites was used as a watchdog timer to prevent nuclear

   metallic chaff into low earth orbit so the submarine cant hear them...

   You can get much farther with a kind word and a gun than you can with a   
   kind word alone.
