Technically not from space since the lower stage never made it past the Karman line, which is 100km above sea level.

10yo me realized that other sized batteries that were also 1.5v could be used as well if I had enough tape and aluminum foil, so then all the flashlight D batteries around the house started to go missing as well.

It’s not even VESA. DOS just uses the VGA 80x25 character terminal mode that all x86 computers still have to start in for backwards compatibility, where “video memory” is mapped to 0xb800 in the 1MB real mode address space. Software you run can then change the video mode, such as to a VESA mode if supported, or for ultra nostalgia, “screen mode 13” (320x200 256-color mode).

I before E, except after C.
