Well, of course control is a matter of perspective.

Which also brings up an interesting question, just say you were able to
access one of the space stations in 205x, what would you bring with you for
survival, or hell, what if you were on a semi-ballistic that crashed in
space......

It'd suck to be a mage.

I have a question. Even Suborbitals don't really break free of orbit, they
just get into very low earth orbit at their highest apex.

I have had a mage who was on a Transorbital when it got hijacked. Boy was
that a game to remember.
