    It is rather cool, all jokes aside, indeed, that I could pay my astronaut friends (if I ever find any) to throw my Great Space Toaster out the "window" (see also: airlock) so that I can remote control my orbital mind control lasers without that 2 seconds of lag.

    Muhahah! ... uhn, you should probably ignore that.
