There was also a discussion about bouncing signals off
the moon to create
a delay-line memory of sort.
What if we were to preserve software by encoding it as audio and bouncing
it off the moon? I figure we could probably save a few old programs that
way :)
Hi
You'd need a few different frequencies. The round trip to
the moon and back is only 2.6 seconds. It would be much more
reliable if there was a repeater on the moon otherwise the
signal would be weak.
