    One other observation about the Iridium business in the media.
    It seems to me that all the stories have been filed by reporters
    who write business use. its time the persons who assign reporters to
    stories assign  reporters with aerospace or technology experience to the story,
    who can understand and find out technical details as to how the 
    this rubbish removal is going to be conducted. 
    
    The two most practical questions just at this moment might be.
     1. One at a time or several
     2. to what height can an active iridium satellite perigee be lowered
    
    and of course want we all want to know.
    
    when can we stop predicting iridium flares
