Synopsis

Camp Evans in New Jersey hosted Project Diana on January 10, 1946, as it sent a signal to the Moon and received an echo 2.5 seconds later. Director Simon Ripoll-Hurier connects this milestone in radio communication to various forms of contact, including amateur radio clubs and ghost hunters. The film addresses the challenges of reaching distant entities and the roles of silence and background noise in communication attempts.
