Thanks for this good news about MOC progress. As one who began several years 
ago to press Waite Rawls, the MOC director, to consider Fort Monroe for a 
satellite location, I can report that back then, at least, the MOC people 
tended to avoid the word _satellite_, I think because it implies a kind of 
minor status that they don't envision. In this context I know it's a hard 
word to set aside, though, especially for a word-economizing journalist.
