	It would help to have the sample of the input file and the code used on
it that generates this result.

	I see:

*	a one element list
*	a nine element list -- with some elements having invalid formats for
Python numbers
*	a nine element list, though all fields can be converted to numeric
types

	This could be the result of printing each "line" of words, but not from
printing each "word" itself.

>>> INPUT = "METEOSAT-7\n1 24932U 97049B 15319.57839525 .00000058 00000-0 00000+0 0 9994\n2 24932 9.9015 42.7484 0001500 224.8381 52.7416 1.00266716 66645"
>>> 
>>> for ln in INPUT.split("\n"):
... 	words = ln.split()
... 	print ln
... 	print words
... 	for wd in words:
... 		print wd
