Van Allen belts? I think he may have watched “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea” once.

Seriously, there is a giant metal mesh satellite dish that a ham radio operator constructed behind his house here in my town. He built it in the mid/late 60’s so he could point it at the moon and pick up the radio conversations. He did pick them up. So, if we didn’t go, I wonder who he was listening to?

I'm mildly curious as to who you're talking about when you say "he" ...
