The focus of debate still rested on the project's policy-making process and feasibility, many believing that the project was excessive in scale and aspiration, and that developing a satellite, launching vehicle and communication / control systems within five years would be impossible even for the US, Europe or Japan, which possess the most advanced satellite technology.
焦點仍然集中在計畫的決策過程與可行性，認為計畫的規模與企圖心過大，要在五年之內，由衛星的製造到發射、通訊控制等全部自行發展，這種進度連衛星技術最先進的歐美、日本都不可能達成。
