The magic of a clear line of sight and vacuum for a good ~384'300km!
So should we do low power communications by using the moon as reflector dish?
There was a NSA program that listened to soviet messages by collecting the transmissions that bounced off the moon.
I gotta say, the moon’s really starting to sound like a fucking snitch.
Two thirds of a million kilometres under good conditions and at a precise angle to get a picture of goatse moontooth'd to my phone
Welcome to 2025!
I am worried about 2000ms ping
That's what the anti-tachyon modulation circuit is for, to change the time phase and remove most of that lag. Once they're in sync, it's literally real time!
the distance is 384400km
That's almost the distance between my bed and the kitchen before my first cup of coffee!
It's easy, you just need a big antenna, low noise receiver (just cool it) for low bandwidth (keeps noise power low) and no interferers in the same frequency band.
Shrimple as that
It's almost too easy
That's fair, though I think we also should thank the use of Travelling Wave Tubes (TWTs or 'twits'). These little tubes of witchcraft amplify the transmission signal to make sure we can still hear, say, the Voyager 1 that's currently over 15-billion miles away.
My Bluetooth buds often get interference - technically 100 mW, distance from my head to a pocket.
technically 100 mW
Technically a maximum of 100 mW, but realistically much lower than that.
I bet the receiver that had noise figure low enough to detect that signal consumed more than 3nW while doing it.
