Off Topic: I think they (ORB, formerly ORBI) use a converted Boeing 747 for some of their launches but they also use rockets. Prospects for some of the technology is mind boggling. GPS systems are already appearing in trucking fleets, government vehicles fleets, animal herds, and will soon be found in lease and rental cars...If you fail to turn in your rental car, they'll be able to flick a switch and kill the engine, and know where to retrieve it. I believe ORB already has the jump on the competition, and they haven't had any recent failures or blow-ups like Loral and Hughes. To infinity and beyond! Richard
