"I might be ignoring something, but doesn't one achieve space flight first BEFORE even thinking of artificial satellites?"

They probably did it "the Earth way'.

Space era is also called "Sputnik era" because that satellite was first thing to reach stable orbit.

First thing: put SOMETHING up there, THEN you try to fly (basically "first learn to float, then to swim").

In other words: "what you said was stupid". :'D

"They aren't being subtle anymore"

...were they EVER?

However how many expected/predicted the ending of last episode?
