On Fri, 19 Sep 2003 00:29:23 CST, in a place far, far away,
(Derek Lyons) made the phosphor on my monitor
glow in such a way as to indicate that:

Please provide a cite of a marine system of the equivalent complexity
and mission of the weather sat with a design lifetime of years or
decades. (Or any marine system with those kinds of lifetime
requirements.)

You seem to miss the point.

"Those lifetime requirements" are exactly the point. If it were cheap
and easy to get to space, it wouldn't necessarily have those lifetime
requirements.

In other words, you have made a claim you are unwilling to back up.
