what could we do if we built a repeater to put on or attach to the 
ISS?  What size footprint would we have?

what kind of a sat could we do if we built a sat that we could somehow 
"launch" from the ISS to a high orbit?

what kind of a sat could we build that would have a high orbit only over 
our hemisphere?
then if that worked could we build a 2nd one and put it over Europe ... and 
then have a preplanned built in capability to to go up on the USA sat and 
send our signal to the European sat for a downlink over Europe? If that 
worked could we then add a 3rd sat for the Pacific/Asia theater of operation?
