[amsat-bb] Re: High orbit satellites?

[Joe]

And or start working on OK can't get ride to High orbit,,, at least get 
us to a LEO spot and develop like Ion engines or something so we can 
eventually work our way to a high orbit, like with an ION engine, so it 
takes a few years to get there because of the low push level, but hey a 
few years is decades faster than we are doing now.
