So, 23 nights after it started, Ollie Treyz's "fourth network" went...
...Soviets also showed a model of their advanced Molniya communications satellite, which in synchronous orbit over Siberia can relay color TV between Moscow and Vladivostok. And Molniya satellites have relayed long-distance phone calls and taken weather pictures of the earth's cloud cover.
