I'm almost fifty one years old and I'm now convinced that we will not 
see another HEO in orbit in my lifetime...if ever.  The economic 
environment to do it just doesn't exist anymore. AMSAT has as much as 
told everyone that by abandoning their efforts and  concentrating on LEO 
cubesats.  No one is going to come out and say that we absolutely will 
never have one, they like to keep that glimmer of hope alive but the 
writing is on the wall.   No one wants to be wrong more than I do but 
I'd bet you P3-E never flies.
