No? No? Oh well I guess the USA is not that great then,
That’s a fair point. And I hear the transmissions they send and receive are making even scientific appliances from the 90s onwards look like bitches. My math might be far off but isn’t a transmissions from the Voyager currently reaching us at a power about six orders of magnitude lower than a pin falling on the ground? And the dishes still catch them.
