Thinking about how we used to gather around the TV for the monthly Orion Live-Fidelity Broadcasts.

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?

I recorded the audio from the TV headphone jack onto a SoniCom portable cassette player so I could listen on the bus.

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