Yes, I can easily suppose that if I were a space-walking astronaut, that I might want to make sure that my lifeline remains connected to Houston control center, even when I have no idea of the private domestic arrangements and Indian affairs of Sam Houston, or for that matter the radar technicians on the ground in their off-hours, or whatever technology might be required to actually do that. Needless to say.
But, of course, at the moment I am not a space-walking astronaut so there is no reason for me to think about that.
