I find the latency in ssh sessions to my web server bad enough without
the added ~20 minute delay for a round trip to a space vehicle 100M
miles distant.
Of course NASA didn't have to go through all that. They just fixed
the bug in their test system on the ground and beemed it into space.
Then they crossed their fingers and held their breath.
