Charles Gibson, anchoring the ABC Evening News for Peter Jennings, reports that Iridium will bring its constellation down. Video simulated the destructive re-entries. Paul Maley, speaking intelligently, appeared in the piece, and one of his videos. (Phillip Clark, I should mention that I saw you chatting amiably, and intelligently, with Joanna on BBC World Service TV, two evenings in a row awhile back, on one of the local PBS stations here). Perhaps the good news is that those who could not agree on what units to use in measuring "flare" will be able to dismiss the question as moot. All coverage I've read, heard and seen focuses on the 66 operating craft. No word on the other 24 also in orbit.
