watching the live feed from the ISS as it passes over the Earth's surface at 78628476234 MPH, noticing there isn't a lot of land, wondering where it actually is... {checks tracker}... ah yes, crossing the Pacific diagonally.

@noiob They could, but the signal is probably a bit too elongated and musky to use.

@woozle they have other options, he didn't invent satellite internet

@noiob ...yes, I know.

I'm sure there's a good technical reason for the interruptions; I just don't know what it actually is.

@woozle honestly I just wanted to make a "satellite internet" joke

@noiob Oops, I missed that! Guess I had my head in the clouds... :D
