“And what made these heart-to-hearts possible–you might even say what made the whole friendship possible during that time–was this understanding we had that anything we told each other during these moments would be treated with careful respect: that we’d honor confidences, and that no matter how much we rowed, we wouldn’t use against each other anything we’d talked about during those sessions.”
― Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go

Imagen de Trevor Paglen de una estación de escucha que forma parte del sistema ECHELON. Fue diseñada en parte para aprovechar un fenómeno llamado «rebote lunar». El rebote lunar implica la captura de las comunicaciones y las señales de telemetría de todo el mundo que, al escapar al espacio, rebotan en la luna, y se reflejan de vuelta hacia la Tierra.
