Rick, My information was from the news article that was referenced in Az-observing yesterday. Unfortunately, I have already deleted the message and so I do not have the url to go back and reread it. If the news article was highly biased, than I would like to know in what way. Also, as you can see in my one sentence question below, I made no comparison to LM but would like to know more about how it compares to B-N - If you know. The news article did not say much about LM except to give an impression, as I recall, that its experience was significantly less than B-N with regard to the contract that was awarded. Is the the experience of LM in this context incorrect?
