As you probably heard by now AES is closing their doors end of this month. I will miss AES, not that I buy much stuff from them anymore, but in my travels over the years I visited all 5 of their locations, and have some fond memories of those visits. I had some time to read some of the nostalgic information posted today and ran into this..

What's cool about this article is that in the last paragraphs satellite communications was mentioned in 1958! This blew me away..
