Deep Space Not So Far Anymore

12/30/2013 11:37 AM

http://www.gizmag.com/llcd-results-ladee-space-laser-communications/30230/ I think this so cool, the time saved with this improved technology opens up high speed communications here on Terra Firma as well as to the moon and even far out into space. very cool.

I'm pretty sure the speed of light is consistent in our neighborhood but the point is the standard radio wave technology is so "horse and buggy", laser hauls the wood!

Meh. I'm holding our for quantum entanglement based communication.

When I can can drive a RC car on Mars in real time with nothing more than video feedback to see where I am going then I will be doing my little happy dance of techo joy!

We regret to inform you that all Lunar Laser Communication Demonstration's (LLCD) will resume after the rain has subsided, and the cloud cover dissipates.

Until then, please use your Bluetooth, WiFi, or land line.
