[amsat-bb] Outline: Initiation through Launch & Management

[Ev Tupis]

 Had Hans not replied, I'd have missed Daniel's informative post.  I have a feeling I may be missing e-mails from AMSAT-BB. :-/
Happily, I have some additional reading to do.  Thank you, Daniel!  Also...thank you to Terry (ZL2BAC) for sending me a very interesting on-topic document, directly!
I wasn't quite sure how to deal with informative, non-snarky responses but I figured it out. Lol.

 So what if the satellite was launched by Canada? It's AMSAT-NA, so 
Canada is included (I presume). If the USA has too many restrictions on 
launching requirements then go for a non-USA solutionm, I would say. 
(But what do I know? Just looking around the corner).
