I think it can justifiably have a grander name than OTA.

Lets call it an "OPA" - Other Planet Update

Or perhaps "USTLLTFMMA" (updating software thats literally like thirty fucking million miles away)

As if Squats and Dusters would ever accept OPA

Underrated comment. #expanse

OPA Gangnam Style

There is air for the fist and last few dozens of kilometers (at varying density)

There's very clearly air, seeing as the helicopter is flying.

Over the Aether?

That isn't there either.

I am aware of the theory of quantum vacuum, but I generally take Aether to mean the old proposal as the medium light waves travel through. It has been refuted.

Over-the-antenna maybe, easier than a JTAG cable.

Air doesn't have a strict definition right?
