Horsey Talkie

[Bob Bruhns]

It occurs to me that we could extend the range of the Wilbur-Phone
by the use of a Wilbur-Sat.  We could make it an Intergalactic
Wilbur-Phone Network by locating this spacecraft in the Horse-Head
nebula.

I think I'd better get back to work.

Actually, the details of the horse-comm design might be very
interesting.
