Stories of a short, fat bastard.

I am all for Australia having it's own limited space program, but putting up satellites isn't really a big deal. It's a lot cheaper and more reliable to build your own satellites and then hand it over to a commercial company to put it up. Having an active satellite launch program isn't really that interesting. The reason Iran did it is to try and get some international bragging rights. I would think that Australia doesn't need that sorta attention anymore.
