Ok, I'll ask... what is the routing here?

I don't understand how there is a round-trip routing of 140,000 miles on a planet only about 22,000 miles in diameter.

Satellite?

Neil Harvey, in Capetown, South Africa, has been kind enough to provide us
access to one of his HP3000's for the past two years to allow us to practice
working not over distances of just a few thousand miles but at distances that
are 70,000 miles each way -- and yet keep the psychological response times
well within acceptable levels (850 ms. ping times).
