For younger folks on Usenet: remember what it was like when the Public Harmony Acts were in full effect?

You could hear the simulated crowd chant 'NOVA! NOVA!' between songs, but her eyes were always looking slightly past the lens.
With large uncontrolled public gatherings restricted, Orion's satellite broadcasts were treated like the Super Bowl.

Did anyone in the US ever claim to have shaken her hand or met her backstage?

A physical body that could be touched never existed. The broadcast was a real-time holographic synthesis fed from the Burbank basement.
