[amsat-bb] Current Launch Costs From Spaceflight

[Bill Ress]

Hi Paul,

Good question about the 1U and 2U.

I found the $650 mil for a 3U to "GTO" interesting. As Trevor says, 
launch costs might not be out of reach if we can find some deep pocket 
"university" partners. That would fall in line with the AMSAT strategy 
of supporting the CMD/COMM side of a joint venture.
