battery-powered active wireless-G repeaters, so we
could use really powerful engines and try to get it
into the upper stratosphere with full network control
on the rocket.

=====

Must be enough. When I say what things are like
Everyone's heart must be torn to shreds.

Surely you see that.

  -- Bertolt Brecht
