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.

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

Nova isn't in a vault. Her code was transmitted to the orbital relays before the building burned.

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