Most non-terrestrial were believed to be more intelligent than terrestrials. I'm surprised you are asking us when we don't even have a cure for the common cold.

I want to use NIS but, I needed this right away. Since I have a script to use now, I'll be able to get by.

I plan to implement NIS in the future.

I work for a Satellite hosting firm. (we fly satellites for a bunch of companies)

This is true but, when I asked the WAN how to write the script it didn't answer me. How rude.
