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? -- Mikhail Moreno Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. ------------------------------------------------------------ From jlindqvist@unam.mx Sun Feb 13 07:47:31 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!bigsur!unam!jlindqvist From: jlindqvist@unam.mx (Ji-woo Lindqvist) Newsgroups: alt.conspiracy Subject: Re: [INFO] The 10 countries vs 14 nodes mystery - count again Message-ID: <1994Feb13.074731.8662@unam.mx> Date: Sun, 13 Feb 1994 07:47:31 GMT References: <1994Feb13.042831.9185@mit.edu> Organization: Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (DGSCA) NNTP-Posting-Host: unam.mx X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 11 In article <1994Feb13.042831.9185@mit.edu>, mmoreno@mit.edu (Mikhail Moreno) writes: > The geographic math of Project Stardust doesn't add up. Satellite relays! That explains why the timecode delay on the Hamburg feed was exactly 240 milliseconds -- the speed of light to geostationary orbit!
