no great surprise - the backchannel is slow, and the satellite is a

Perhaps I've missed a giggle here, but surely the satellite has to be
the same distance away from earth as the moon? :
Not quite.
The moon orbits the earth once a month.
A geostationary satellite orbits once a day
so it has to be much closer.
I wish I could blame alcohol, drugs, or tiredness for that.
But I cannot.
Happy New Year.
