"The STS-111 can provide an instant backup communications infrastructure," Mr. Leinwand remarked. "In situations such as that which we are now witnessing in Haiti, when traditional lines of communication are down and even satellite phone towers have been hit, the STS-111 offers by far the fastest and cheapest method of restoring communications to emergency personnel."
Anyone else here ever heard of a "satellite phone tower"? LOL
It's amazing to me that someone can claim (with a straight face) to be the "fastest and cheapest" option when they have never, even once, demonstrated the ability to "restore communications" under any cirsumstances, on any project timeline.
I guess if you have never done something some people feel that is evidence that you could have done it... and could have done it faster and cheaper than anyone else.
