My approach is to ask and leave it at that. If they are interested, they will respond, but if they arent interested, they will not respond and you carry on as you choose. We all know the dealI'm only asking this so that others get a chance to captain too but if their resources are low as well it is not a problem for me we will keep doing these launches. It is rather frustrating that at times people keep quiet rather than say something to give us a direction on their state of affairs (with regards to launches).
I so wish they can say something so that I stop making meaningless noise.
