* CoolButInefficient: O'Shea's pirate radio station broadcasts from space. Not just the transmitter, but the ''entire radio station and crew'' are on the satellite. Do they ever get to leave for a holiday? If so, how? How do they replenish their food/water/oxygen? And it's not a particularly roomy space station either, barely bigger than a Soyuz capsule, so isn't cabin fever an issue? Do they just launch it, orbit for a while, then come back and launch again later? Wouldn't it be way easier and way cheaper to keep a transmitter satellite in permanent orbit to ''relay a show performed on the ground?''
