Fantastic!! I am 60 yo and learned to play to flute when I was in 4th grade- about 10 yo. I give Ian Anderson full credit for giving me motivation and the strong desire to play the flute in the 60's since it was not fashionable for men to play the flute! I continue to play the flute and it has given me years of enjoyment!! Thank you Ian Anderson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Miss you, Cady!

Given the speed of light (i.e. of radio waves) is about 300,000 km per second and a low earth orbit of about 2,000 km then the 'return trip' of a radio signal would (if my imperfect maths is correct) take 0.13 of a second. This would be near impossible to detect
