MSFT, McCAW, ORBI, TELEDESIC & TWO HUGE NEW CONTRACTS THIS WEEKEND! Orbital won their biggest order I have ever seen Friday after the market closed of $1.1 billion to the Dept. of Defense. This contract is about as much as the stock's total market cap of $1.2 billion: biz.yahoo.com On Saturday, they won the third largest contract I have seen to date with the government of Canada for about $300 million. Orbital will build their satellite, OWN it, and provide service to Canada when it is in orbit. "MDA" is an Orbital company subsidiary! vancouversun.com MDA was bought by Orbital in 1995 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Orbital Sciences (ORBI). Here is MDA's home page with Orbital's signiature at the bottom of the screen at MDA's home page. mda.ca To date, ORBI has a total of $4.3 BILLION in order backlog as of Saturday evening with the two new BIG orders... The company made 3/4 of a billion in revenue in the year 1997. The short sellers will get squeezed first thing Monday morning with heavy volume... This could be the Microsoft of the satellite business in the coming years to say the least. Then again, Microsoft never had such a HUGE backlog either. So maybe this is why BILL GATES & CRAIG McCAW (AT&T DIRECTOR) are backing ORBI through Teledesic... flatoday.com It makes you wonder doesn't it? Ol' BILL knows where the money is after software is saturating the market place. He's not dumb! AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK ORBI HAS ALREADY GONE UP TO MUCH, THAT's ALSO WHAT EVERYONE SAID ABOUT MICROSOFT FIVE YEARS AGO WHEN MSFT WAS ONLY WORTH LESS THAN 50 BILLION IN MARKET CAP! TODAY MSFT IS A 200 BILLION COMPANY!!!!!!!! Just the beginning of better things to come in another new age of technology and communications in space.... The X-34 will reduce COSTS of launches by 10 times!!! X-34 reusable launch vehicle site: orbital.com Automotive navigation site of ORBI: orbital.com
