[amsat-bb] Re: Satellite Orbit Prediction in Python

[Rich Dailey (Gmail)]

Great stuff, Mark.  I'm an old, dusty assembler, and later a C programmer.  Used to program for fun,
then for profit, then after a few years of life I looked around and the art had snuck ahead of me.

I used to hack up the PREDICT code for my own devious purposes, and just to have fun
with the source.

Your blog post reminded me of how fun it is to cobble together one's own code to
solve a particular problem.  Keep it up!
