OTD in 1960, @BellLabs completed the first-ever two-way satellite call "by successfully bouncing a phone call between its Holmdel, N. J., test site and [@NASAJPL]. The reflector was a 100-foot sphere of aluminized plastic orbiting the earth 1000 miles up." https://t.co/yv2zlC5dgV pic.twitter.com/w8jBdB8QqT

The stories on Maui are crushing. Families lost everything they own, others have lost loved ones , all while they work their jobs if they have one, figure out where to live, how to get dinner, where kids will go to school. Federal response is robust but this is the beginning.
