Where are Nodes 11, 12, 13, and 14 physically located?

One routing path lists: 'cascade!transat!orbit-01!stardust'. Orbit-01? Are four of the relay nodes located on satellites?
In the recovered telemetry dumps, Nodes 11-14 have IP/UUCP addresses that don't route through any known terrestrial ISP.

The Public Harmony Acts authorized the deployment of commercial broadcast satellites in geosynchronous orbit in 1983.

Satellite relays! That explains why the timecode delay on the Hamburg feed was exactly 240 milliseconds -- the speed of light to geostationary orbit!

Node 14 is the master clock. That's why the decoded line for Row 14 says: 'ROW 14. NO JOKE.'

When the fire broke out in B2-114, the mainframe was uploading to a satellite uplink on the roof of Orion Tower.

Netscape 1.1 crashes when loading large preformatted text. Stick to rn or tin!
