Larry, It's the water in India that gives gutrot. Which I managed to avoid, perhaps thanks to some lovely chlorine tablets and judicious use of bacteria poison when my stomach began to gurgle when my wife and daughter spent a day with digestive tracts demonstrating rapid action in all directions.

I realize there was no launch failure, sorry I was unclear. One wonky satellite is hardly the end of the world either. Not nice, but no real problem out of $6bn capital. Globalstar has always planned in orbit spares. There must be fairly good statistical information on satellite failure, impact etc developed over the past 30 years. Your cutting edge comment is a weak link in your comments - as I mentioned in my other post, even 2 years is a long time to hope electronics, chips etc don't become obsolete. I stand by my single constellation theory for Iridium. Thanks for the nice comments.
