[amsat-bb] ... Will Launch 20, 000 Satellites!!! [read SEVENEVES]

[johnv at frontier.com]

 There are four resent books I have read that involving technology and satellites     Good and quick reads.

Shadow Tyrants - Clive Cussler - satellites launched - The Oregon Files
Matt Richtel - Dead On Arrival -  satellites launched 
Dan Brown - Origin - mostly technology and religionInfinity Beckoned - Jay Gallentine - non-fiction - Adventuring through the Inter Solar System 1969 - 1989
There was a TV show/movie that depicted moving a existing satellite into another and causing a chain reaction but the title slips my mind.    I was very resent.

 SEVENEVES:  A fantastic book.  Bill Gates' favorite SciFi because it is
all grounded in true engineering more or less.  All based on expanding the
space station to thousands of inhabitants to escape the natural calamity
on Earth.
