Flying a Satellite

Richard pointed out an odd Direct TV advertisement where a fellow is flying a satellite like a two-line stunt kite. Never mind that heТs using the chinzy handles that come with cheap kites and seems to be yanked about the satellite suggesting perhaps he doesnТt know what heТs doing. (I know a bit about stunt kite flying.) The scary part is that it does help people understand how satellite work or heaven forbid suggests thereТs wind in outerspace. I guess the goal is to tap into the extreme sports fad.
