Shawn hit the nail on the head. These satellites are going to be bouncing around in space playing a huge bouncing exercise of "Cover me while I move!!"

You would be amazed at what you learn by attempting to teach others. You find out what you don't fully understand, different ways of thinking, and different ways of communicating. There is no stronger operating force than great experience and fresh eyes.
