    Thanks Ed for the article. :~)
    
    I think the illustration of the flaring Iridium satellite flaring is not
    accurate though.
    
    Also, I read, "Typically, the expected lifetime of a satellite is 5 to 8
    years."
    
    Does this mean that they typically decay in that amount of time?
