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. If Nodes 11-14 are in orbit, who is maintaining the transmitters now that Orion is bankrupt? -- Mike Nilsson *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

Satellite relays! That explains why the timecode delay on the Hamburg feed was exactly 240 milliseconds -- the speed of light to geostationary orbit! -- Astrid Hernández *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
