Uni-Orb won the contract. Unfortunately, earth orbit has some major differences from lunar orbit. The orbiting part of the ring keeps on drifting slightly out of alignment. This initially seemed due to a combination of a more crowded orbital environment and resulting residual exhaust and the changing magnetic field of earth. But its quite possible at this point that sabotage is involved, and embezzlement scandals are making the cost-overruns look more and more suspicious?

Who are the biggest suspects for sabotaging the ring?

Who is funding the contract for the Earth Orbital ring?
