@p @jeremiah @verita84 At one point you could actually talk to astronauts (they're all hams, or used to be anyway) on the ISS with their callsign NA1SS. I think they only do it prescheduled with little black girls in school classes as some PR thing now, though. I think it used to be, "Hey, let's see if the astronauts are bored and monitoring right now, oh cool, they are, let's talk with them for a few seconds while they pass overhead"
