Just 'cause I said I would...
Hopefully, though, this whole episode has made its point -- NASA isn't afraid to tell overbudget missions to stand down. I just *really* wish we could get the magnetometer back on the beastie, though... -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

Sea Launch is 5200kg to GTO
Delta II Heavy - 2064 to GTO Sea Launch is more like a low end Delta IV in terms of performance ( at one point I believe it held the outright commercial payload mass record ) Doug |

Ariane 5 does it as standard! SeaLaunch is more-or-less American, and could launch not only from equatorial regions but also from Florida or California, making use of all the existing range infrastructures.
