Earth Has Received a Message Laser-Beamed From 10 Million Miles Away
spudwart, Terrible misleading headline.
The headline is trying to imply to those not in the know that we received communication from aliens.
This was never even close to what happened.
NASA was testing a method of high-speed data transfer for use in the future to expand the internet to other planets.
This is not receiving a message from an alien. This is receiving test packets from us to us.
Truthfully, I weep for whoever will have to play online games in the future through space-internet.
Their ping is gonna be out of this world.
neocamel, Their ping is gonna be out of this world.
I see what you did there.
hperrin, Correct me if I’m wrong, but ten million miles is like, not even to Mars. That’s not very far away.
Jiggle_Physics, A laser beam we fired in an experiment with very long distance communications tech.
livus, 
Thanks. That has to be one of the most clickbait titles I've ever seen.
Bloodwoodsrisen, 
This is the equivalent of scientists trying to find this weird space signal only to find out it was the microwave
