Flight controllers in Houston were silent as Scott Kelly spoke via radio from space.
And new innovations such as printed circuit technology and the white space radio spectrum (transmitting data over unused TV channel airwaves as we switch from analogue to digital TV) are all helping to create a world where everything can talk to everything else, and everything to us.
As part of SETI's research, its scientists use computers to listen for radio signals from outer space.
In 1994, researchers from America's airforce tested this idea by using the radio transmitter on a space probe called Clementine as a makeshift radar.
Makowski describes the radio show as a space for dialogue, which offers a safe environment in which people suffering from a mental disorder can express themselves.
Rival streaming radio services such as Stitcher, TuneIn and National Public Radio are also scrapping for space on dashboard displays.

Nearly 5m people in 226 countries have downloaded a screensaver that makes their computer available, whenever it is sitting idle, to process radio signals gathered from outer space.
Compared with other forms of wireless technologies, such as regular Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, the radio waves used by white space devices will be able to travel longer distances and more easily through walls.

They put in something with tools on it for future missions, and they also set up a science experiment which is going to look--how materials--look at--study materials in outer space, and it'll radio back its results.
The project is about the active making of a different type of public space and public arena (through radio, teach-ins, actions) in order to alter and fight from the inside the perverse dynamics that tend to ghettoize social sectors and their spaces and lives.

Compaq didn't say who it got its 802.11b technology from, but one startup active in the Bluetooth space, a British startup called Cambridge Silicon Radio , couldn't help but crow about its Bluetooth chips being used in Compaq's Bluetooth module.
We pay a visit to Jersey City's WFMU and Santa Monica's KCRW, two of the most prominent freeform stations in a space dominated Clear Channels and internet and satellite radio, to discuss the importance of human curation and embracing the same technology that has spelled the end of so many of their peers.
When we talk about telescopes, we're usually referring to devices that "see" the visual spectrum of light, but astronomers also build telescopes that gather radiation like radio waves and X rays in order to peer deep into outer space.
The new science of radio astronomy indicated that elements of the recipe were also floating around in space.
Merlin's images in the radio region of the spectrum are of comparable quality to those of the Hubble Space Telescope observing optically.
If space authorities tracking Mir become aware of any potential danger, emergency radio announcements would advise citizens to stay indoors, the document said, according to Bild.
In fact, most of the value-added uses for space today (GPS navigation, communications, direct broadcast TV and Radio, weather, photography and mapping) owe little to the Apollo program.

The radiation just spread out into space - where it still is and can be detected as weak waves of radio frequency.
It leases and manages antenna space on its multi-tenant communications tower sites to wireless service providers and radio and TV broadcast companies.

Then in 1945 he published a paper proposing the concept of space stations which would orbit the Earth and be able to act as transmitters of radio waves.
Over 10, 000 tweets were collated, as well as videos from comedians, which will be beamed into space using a transmitter with a signal 20 times stronger than that of typical commercial radio transmitters.

Mr Cook told BBC Radio Scotland's Newsdrive programme that the prime minister's actions had given some "breathing space".
Radio calls captured by the website LiveATC.net show the Spirit pilot warned ground control about limited space to maneuver.
The Lunar Laser Communication Demonstration presents a significant upgrade in existing data communications used in space -- with an estimated increase of six times the throughput of the current best radio system.
Especially useful is a question-and-answer section with specifics on how to view a launch: how to apply for an official pass onto the Space Center grounds, where to park if you don't get a pass, even what radio stations to listen to for launch updates.
