    Hi Matt,
    
    I would only add to Tony's comments about the Clarke geostationary
    belt that, if you hadn't already made the connection yourself,
    it's named for the British physicist and astronmer, Arthur C. Clarke
    (also of 2001/2010/2061/3001 fame), who first published the concept
    of "stationary orbits."  --Rob
