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

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

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

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.

My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread. Keep articles concise!
