TJ, if you think satellites don't need wings, take a look at this picture of a Globalstar satellites in orbit [it's not a photo, but a drawing of how they are deployed]. spaceandtech.com

<and satellites do not need wings :0) >

Because of the extremely thin atmosphere at 1414 kilometres altitude, the angle of attack of the photovoltaic wings is quite steep.

CB, I am kidding. They aren't really wings. And yes, if companies can borrow at 0% and make a profit, borrowing is a good idea.
