Hi,

Of course I'm not a Sputnik man but I should thank Mr. Molczan for
the kind words and congratulations. I really look forward to his analysis
of the object 00001 orbit as well as the memoirs of people like
Russell Eberst and Michael Waterman whose experience in
satellite observation goes, I believe, to the days of Sputnik.

Sincerely,
Igor Lissov
Moscow, Russia
