Its hard to maintain a link with a craft outside or solar system. There’s a very tight orientation requirement and you have to set a very large delay for the expected response.
He plays “Commander Adams”. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but as I recall it’s a pretty decent sci-fi movie. And it’s the only serious role that I think I’ve ever seen him in.
When I’m on a plane I still idly think about the possibility of there being a gremlin out there on the wing eating an engine…
(I fly a lot and even learned to fly gliders/sailplanes back in the day, so definitely not afraid of flying, but if I’m ever sat next to William Shatner I’m deplaning. No point taking chances. ;-).)
Yes, definitely indentional geoblocking on server side.
Direct access from Germany is blocked.
Access via VPN from any other country works just fine (so no VPN blocking).
Link gives me a 403 error
Yep, same for me…

But 403 is “Forbidden”.

Yeah for a 60s sci fi movie it’s pretty good
50s sci fi movie, actually.
Part of that groundbreaking film stuff starting in that decade, kicking off our modern understanding of the genre.
Twilight Zone also comes to mind.
Currently watching season 2 of it. Totally great stuff, so many “firsts” in there!

Come on now, it’s not that bad.
Voyager 1 is just 23h 32m 9.981s light seconds away.
One way.
So slightly better ping than my ISP, then.
It takes me about a day to respond to messages too. Therefore I’m also ~23 light hours away.
By some measures, it hasn’t even left the solar system yet.
Working again
Just tried it - still 403 for me.
Weird. Geoblocking maybe…? VPN blocking…?
