That reality being identified, it will be interesting to see what the West reps will propose to APA and what they will expect as part of any SLI. APA may in fact, not be willing or able to support what essentially might be a request that THEY support or advocate a Nic-based SLI. On the other hand, I expect USAPA to act like the tradional Usapians they are and only act in their nature and demand that all occupants of subservient orbital rocks maintain an orbit that is in the best interests of the mother planet USAPA.
