Talk:1226: Balloon Internet

Does the action take place in a desert ? Compare scenery with http://wikilivres.ca/wiki/File:Petit_Prince_etoile.jpg . Is Cueball reading The Little Prince ? See comics #618, #2 and what-if article leap seconds if you doubt that The Little Prince occupies a good share of Randall's mind. MGitsfullofsheep (talk) 08:34, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

The original articles about the project have also seen some comments from people who see this sort of thing as an intrusion into the last areas which are supposed to be a refuge from global connectability - much like cell phones have been decried by those accustomed to be able to elude attempts to be contacted when not around a fixed telephone. I think this may have similar overtones - a general idea that some areas are _supposed_ to be secluded like that. Only a guess though... --193.231.162.31 09:18, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
