All the interesting information is missing in this article. It’s like writing about technical details of the telephone network under the headline “Man Reaches President With Normal Telephone”.

The problem has to be the speed with which the ISS is moving across the sky which doesn’t give you very much time to make contact. Much more interesting, however, would be why the hell the ISS is listening and responding.
