Ha Dave, My pencil doesn't need to be sharp to copy that one.

All I know about SpaceQuest is found in the minutes of the AMSAT-NA BOD 
meeting on page 27 of the JAN/FEB issue of the AMSAT Journal.  This latest 
issue of the Journal, which I haven't had time to read yet, has an article 
on Eagle, and so it might also mention Spacequest.  One thing is for sure, 
they know how to sell a satellite: "Good-bye JJ, Hello Easy-sat(Taxi 
drivers & fisherman included)."  And as far as starting a satellite that we 
would like to see set launched, that's a long ways away now. Probably light 
years away.
