I am an engineer at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, and I work on the telemetry processing systems that handle the current internet connectivity for the astronauts aboard the International Space Station. I have forwarded this particular strip to a number of engineers and controllers here for their amusement, and promptly received a hardy LOL from one controller. Good stuff! Keep it up!
No word yet on whether they forwarded the strip up to anyone on the space station: Most of the station's internet time is dedicated to LOLcats and Facebook, purely for scientific reasons.
Last thing I read about email to the ISS seemed to say that traffic is packaged up and sent in bursts. I wonder if they do that with other Internet content?
They couldn't just browse at will for Sheldon comics then, but maybe they could add it to their list of stuff to package up for delivery.
