Reopened. Matt Bisque pointed to the TheSkyX.Application.initialized property.

How ugly is this? Creating the TheSky objects does not even start TheSkyX. Only when you access a member does it begin to start. But at that time it is an error to try to use the member!! So we loop trying to use it for up to 30 sec, while TheSky X actually starts, then when the member works, onward!
