Is that Major Tom the REAL Major Tom?

[tristancarax]

Yes, that is who I had flowing in my thoughts when I wrote this. ;-)

[majes.tytyty]

I believe the Major is still drifting in far-off space. Neither he nor Ground Control is in control of his machine. So, it might be a while before you can speak.

Unless, of course, you seize control. :-)
