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. If Nodes 11-14 are in orbit, who is maintaining the transmitters now that Orion is bankrupt? -- === Bill Kim === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice."

Orbit-01? Are four of the relay nodes located on satellites? Satellite relays! That explains why the timecode delay on the Hamburg feed was exactly 240 milliseconds -- the speed of light to geostationary orbit! -- Karen Sánchez "Marcus is not one man."
