Is that Roaming?

On the eve of Father's Day, this news story should serve as inspiration for any expectant father who secretly longs for the time when fathers were not expected to be in the delivery room. Lieutenant Colonel Mike Fincke wasn't even on the same planet when his wife gave birth to their second child on Friday. He's been on the International Space Station since April, and isn't slated to return until October. Lt. Col. Fincke did not entirely miss the birth, though. NASA patched his wife's cell phone through to the Space Station. Is an orbital altitude of 358 kilometers included in Nationwide Long Distance?
