I worked the back-end factory for Motorola on 51 through 78 on the ill-fated Iridium project. Fascinating experience I'll tell you what!. Space is hard to deal with.

Ouch.

I was a Sophmore in HS when the Apollo program ended. I have never gotten over my anger at the termination of this program and the loss of the Engineers and knowledge base from Nasa.

Everytime I hear about "spending money for the starveing on earth first", I want to vomit. You know what I mean.

Do you mean Iridium satellite serial numbers 51 through 78?
