Bob and Micheal, Satellite lifetime

I in no way intended to imply that the satellites would live more than five years. I said they would remain in orbit for many multiples of their lifetime (five years). As Bob states, they may last a little longer.

I was directly addressing Michael's statement that the satellites come back in and burn up in the atmosphere in a few years. They will not.
