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

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

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

Nova herself believed the crowd was real. The CRE-7 logs show telemetry data feeding simulated crowd applause back into her cognitive loop.

Unsubscribe me from this list! (Wait, this is Usenet, never mind).
