    Ping would be cool, imagine the response time..ouch. It would be cool, get a DDoS going on the satelleites. If you could hack them, what could you do? Crash it? Ouch. NASA would decloak around you and vaporize you. If you could hack it, change the orbit? Send it off to your house, taking pictures all the way down....and transmitting them to your DSL ftp.
