Servicing Mission 3B: SM3B Discussion Board: Polls & Surveys: Enhanced full telemetry & video relay station in Australia

Dear NASA

I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this shuttle mission. I have a telescope myself, and love looking at Jupiter and the moons. So I have a very special place in my heart for the Hubble Space Telescope.

As a respectful suggestion, it would be a good idea to construct enhanced full telemetry & video relay stations in Cape York & Broome, Australia. This would enhance safety, and allow more exciting video feeds of shuttle missions while flying over the Indian Ocean, Australia, and the Western Pacific.

Suggesion 2 : Australia would be thrilled and honoured if you would build a NASA Space Port in our land (Cape York, Australia) to launch and land shuttles in Australia.

God Bless America & Australia Forever!

Kind Regards
