And by the time the signals reached a tracking station, they were no stronger than one-billionth of one-billionth of a watt. Those faint whispers were picked up by big-dish antennas and amplified a thousand times as they were piped through a liquid helium maser. So slow was the transmission rate that no complete picture could be received at any one tracking station. As the Earth...

Perhaps Russia and the U.S. will each use its satellites for psychological walfare-which would be nothing more than they are doing now with short-wave broadcasts. One thing I'm sure of, the world will be besieged with more and more noise...
