Operation Moon Bounce

Posted by michael on from the boing dept.

linuxwrangler writes "Today marks the 50th anniversary of the first transmission of human voice via moon bounce. The voice was that of James Trexler and the technique became an important method of communication for the military that was used until the advent of the communications satellite. It is still a popular activity for ham radio operators."

    Got your hopes up? Between the article title and your subject, I thought it was about butt sex. Y'know, the romantic kind, like: "Hey, honey, since it's our anniversary, what do you say we open that bottle of wine your Mom gave us, light some candles, and spread rose petals on the bed for a little moon bounce?"
