"Give it a second, could ya? It's going to space! Could you give it a second to get back from space?"
Even more common are people who think GPS involves satellites tracking the location of their phone.
I assumed that was a tweak of his similar joke about in-flight wifi. And since many in-flight wifi systems use a combination of air-to-ground and satellite, it is going to space and back in a roundabout way.
The joke is funnier this way. Technical accuracy be damned. That is what we pay comedians for.
