In the second place this is 2007, where satellite lifetimes are measured in years... Not 1967 where it was (mostly) 'cross our fingers and hope it lasts till Tuesday'.
Cheerleading on the numbers and wishing they were bigger mostly for the sake of making them bigger or the vain idea that being bigger means we are accomplishing more is idiotic.
