[amsat-bb] Re: Bargain Basement Satellite

[Robert McGwier]

I think we built AO-40,  built the structure which sat above us to
lift Panamsat, helped design the ASAP for the Microsat launches which
was used on this launch,  and got it launched for less than
$4,000,000.

Thank goodness we have a new marketing team.
