Um... Did the contact actually happen, or is this the school where the contact didn't happen, due to tech mishaps? I heard a quick blurp about that in the news today. If so, that sucks, since schools that get this are psyched about doing that.
“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
-Attributed to Albert Einstein, but I ripped it from the latest Splatter .PDF March 2025 issue.
