Thanks for pointing me to the link.

I also saw your video interview with Discovery Canada. That explains also
why my thoughts are wrong.

Do we have a multistage elv that could be fitted with an adapter to dock
with and then change Hubble's orbit to something more friendly with ISS?

It seems the $ decision to close African emergency landing sites is kind of
a self fulfilling thing to force flights to ISS. I do not know International
politics to debate political reasons.

Security. If we send 1 MEU to secure site from say a week before launch
until orbit or landing it can be secure. Can the shuttle be transported from
Africa back to the US on the STA anyway? If not, then what if an Africa or
any other Non US abort landing?

Is there someone here who can do a short lesson on orbital mechanics
please.


The 'Orbitology' chapter in my book 'Space Power Theory' is online
as a pdf file at my home page www.jamesoberg.com, it was
written for military officers to understand, give it a try.
