Does broadcasting to Earth work from the dark side of the moon?

I can’t believe that it’s possible to receive signals from that side of the moon or are there satellites for that ?

That sounds like a question for Pink Floyd. :thinking:

In all seriousness, you couldn’t directly transmit signals from the far side of the moon since those signals would be blocked by the moon. You’d have to use some sort of relay satellite.

Or just wait 28 days at most for the moon’s rotation to bring you back in line with Earth.

Haha. Loving the Floyd Reference. There are no signals from the dark side of the moon - and any astronomical paper will tell you, the solar radiation from the sun stops it.

The moon doesn’t rotate for itself, or got i something wrong ? There’s always the same face @shutterbug

Perhaps it will change abrupt one day

I believe we always see the same side of the moon if I’m not mistaken. The rotation of the moon is exactly in sync with its revolving around the earth I think.

Yeah, i think we know it

Sorry, yes it does, but at the same rate earth rotates so we always see the same side.

We should bomb that side. Since the nazi remnant survivors from ww2 dwell in their moon bunkers plotting there revenge. Growing in strength day by day.
