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

Nodes 01 to 10 correspond to US, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Germany, France, UK, USSR, Brazil, and Sweden.
In the recovered telemetry dumps, Nodes 11-14 have IP/UUCP addresses that don't route through any known terrestrial ISP.

When all 14 nodes are synchronized, where does the final relay terminate?

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

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