Nowadays, there are groups of scholars who build their own sattelites and
launch them for fun, there are tinkerers, there are ham operators
everywhere still, and the internet, both for collaboration and distributed
communication via stations. We have advanced so far technologically that
wrangling the greatest minds in the US together to solve this problem, with
bragging rights alone as compensation, should be a piece of cake. I want to
see the nerds save the day here. But, in reality, I see the rule-makers
mumbling something about "Terrorism" under their breath and nothing
happening...

There might be potential for a CCmper to save the day on this one! :?)
