The geographic math of Project Stardust doesn't add up.

One routing path lists: 'cascade!transat!orbit-01!stardust'. Orbit-01? Are four of the relay nodes located on satellites?
Nodes 01 to 10 correspond to US, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Germany, France, UK, USSR, Brazil, and Sweden.

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

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

Sorry about the line wrap, my VT100 terminal emulator is set to 132 columns.
