Faceman, you also have to realize, that if you have no launch capability of your own, then you are dependant on foreign sources for your communications and scientific observations.....Ego's being what they are..I doubt that any nation as large as brazil likes having to pay others for their resources which can be withheld at their whim. Brazil also probably wants a few of its own geostationary satellites to hunt for precious metals and minerals...much easier than slogging through the jungle on foot....satellites are wonderful things....if you can afford them.
