Random thought of the day

I love SPG as much as if not more than the next guy. I love their Album Vice Quadrant including the song "Wink the Satellite"

I do have one problem with it though. Wink is NOT a satellite. I repeat: WINK IS NOT A SATELLITE.

A satellite, by definition, is: an artificial body placed in orbit around the earth or moon or another planet in order to collect information or for communication.

Wink was sent from Earth to search the galaxy for a new home. SATELLITES DON'T SEARCH they just orbit.

Wink is a probe.

Though I do understand going with "satellite" and not "probe"

Wink the Probe just doesn't have the same ring to it
