[amsat-bb] Re: Three CubeSats from Santa Clara University

[Robert McGwier]

I really wish there was a mechanism that allowed the application of BS
repellant without smashing the ingenuity and inquisitiveness of these
groups.  I'm finding the adult leadership of almost 100% of these groups do
not know enough to come in out of the rain.  I hate whatever damage is done
to the groups, their sponsors, etc by the lack of mentoring.  As steely
eyed rocket folks know, regulations,policy and understanding the impact are
crucial components....


Sigh
