I disagree that there was a failure of immagination in 1955 when it comes to the possibilities of satellites.

In 1945 Arthur C. Clarke described in detail how satellites might be used for communications.

Give me a break Jay. Did you really used that entire article as a smoke screen to take a back-handed swipe at the voucher issue? You need to be more forthright in your commentary. We shouldn't have to guess what you are getting at for paragraphs into the article.

Also, you need a new topic besides vouchers. Put your baby/pet-project to bed, Jay. Like it or not, it is clear that the public disagrees with you.
