Hey! I've just had an epiphany. HOToL promised much cheaper costs to put
things in LEO. The initial design was finished and tested, but nobody
would provide the funds for the second round or implementation (probably
because it wasn't French enough :)
Nowdays, anything involving the Internet automatically gets ridiculous
levels of funding. If we can just get John Markoff or Walter Mossberg to
declare HOTol to be an Internet Technology they'll be able to use
banknotes as heat shields.
