Hi Peter, Thanks for responding. I am amazed by your reaction to a simple post. Calling it "crude, false, blinded by rage" is quite a statement. But hey, you have every right to your opinion!
Now then, please help me and others understand your comments you made at AMSAT-UK (listed below): "The amateur community in general is not interested in Cubesats, "I know some of you might not like to hear that "It might sound like a high nose attitude, but it is life "Those that have done P3 satellites have no interest in Cubesats If those statements, which by the way come directly from the AMSAT-UK video of your presentation (available online) are made by the president of AMSAT-DL at an international meeting, I certainly do not call this an endorsement but rather a denouncement of AMSAT-DL's interest in cubesats. If you call this "crude, false and blinded by rage"... I am not sure what your talking about and it certainly does not help or aid in the discussion. The simple basic fact is that AMSAT-DL under your leadership is not building, designing or planning any CubeSat projects (as far as I know). Now, please prove me wrong. I would love to support (financially) an AMSAT-DL Cubesat mission.
