  or pinged a satellite at a predictable distance as part of a timing system…

  Isn’t that just GPS in reverse? I mean, same equation, different dependent variable 😁

  I vaguely recall what was effectively a delay-line implemented using terrahertz-modulated lasers aimed at the retro reflector on the moon from Earth’s surface. The data storage capacity was something in either the hundreds of GBs or low TBs. But I can’t find the reference.

    I think I’ve read about a similar project where someone would send packages across the internet, and use the delay as a form of memory. The capacity wasn’t great, but the idea was really cool regardless.
