    I couldn’t help smiling as I read this. Wondering if it were a joke. A myriad of comic images are drifting through my mind. It’s a very interesting article. I hope the project is successful. It’s certainly ironic that early aircraft utilised wood, then aluminium and other metals, and carbon fibre too. We seem to have gone full circle.

    Me, too.

    The Japanese woodworkers use some incredibly refined and complex joints in their sashimono furniture and in temple architecture. I wonder what sort of joints would be used on a wooden satellite?
