Mr. A., Thanks for your contributions to this thread. Invaluable perspective. Looks like you picked a good basket for your eggs. I was caught off guard by this latest pop. It is funny, we had been talking about the likely pop once the ONSI merger closed, but had not considered that Bernie might add some spice into the pot by creating positive EPS to attract another universe of LOR buyers. He keeps us on our toes.

As for flywheel energy storage technology, I am a SATC holder and am interested in the technology. I am sure that you are right about the if it's not broke, don't fix it approach. I agree that the technology will be road tested in space under the guidance of (i.e. at the risk of) the government, long before it will ever see commercial application in space. I am not so up to speed on the technology, but would the technology be more risky to use on a LEO that is zipping around (possibly more likely to crash into something than a GEO)? Presumably the flywheel can only hold its power if the wheel's motion is not interrupted.

Thanks again for your contributions and for contributing to our satellite education ;-)
Cheers,
Thomas
