far better to launch a indenpendent space tug grapple and have it move

very useful when a new sat ends up in the wrong orbit or a newer sat
has a failure.

And that brings us back to that perennial question: Do you have *ANY*
clue how much fuel it takes to change orbital planes?

such tug graples could be put in storage orbits waiting for need, or
be launched into whatever orbit needed for use.

its not like they would all be launched from one location and be
unable to go anywhere. strato launcher would be a ideal launcher.

since most sats would either be in geo sync or on their way there
before failure this would minimize orbital plane changes.

it appears fred speciality is claiming everything is impossible
because it hasnt been done before.

if fred were here before the moon landings he would of claimed they
were impossible too.........

no apollo, no moon landings, heck its impossible
