Remember what happened at the end of Q1? Some elephant wanted to get to the exit before the end of the qrtr and we got pushed down to 14 almost.

VMan, I see that FlaToday caught up with you this morning and now forecasts a 9/21 T7 launch. A very busy month for SS/L...maybe unprecedented... as it has two satellites-- Echostar V and MTSat flying on 9/10 followed by T7, then Soyuz on 9/24. Seven satellites, four launch vehicles at four different launch sites in two weeks. Not sure even Hughes has pulled that hat trick before.

If anyone hasn't read the WSJ today, there is an article on the LMT/CQ deal. I got the impression that there is either no single buyer of the whole LMT preferred stake, or if there is, the Justice Department has some problems with it. Sounded like they wanted to sell onto the market. The rumor of a single buyer "strategic and friendly to Loral" may just be more smoke filling our rectums. Page A14 of the Journal also has an opinion piece on Iridium. Our large seller is back, but in a positive twist, he is being met with a big buyer.
