 (b) A strong case for a satellite can and should be made to the decadal panel even as of today because the science return, even with a null detection, is compelling. Not only a satellite is justified, it is critical to the health of our field.

+  * CMB Polarization has been measured by sub-orbital experiments. There is no reason to assume that B-modes can not be measured by such experiments as well.

+  * At the moment there is no compelling argument to go to space.
+  * A compelling case for space may present itself when we know more about sub-orbital measurements, but this is not the case now.
