Greetings, A woman once told me that her husband--who was a pilot for a commercial jet airliner--called an airport tower near his wife and under his plane and asked them to call her to let her know that his jet (flying at cruising altitude) was about to fly over her house. She ran outside and he banked the jet as a way of saying, "Hi." Neat! Now, I have a Navy signal mirror that a person can accurately aim. You can tell where the light is being directed by aiming a fuzzy spot of light that is seen in a hole in the center of the mirror. This is probably a rhetorical question but, is it conceivable that an astronaut could signal someone on the earth below with a 4 x 6 inch mirror held up to a window in the ISS? Would be nice huh. Probably never happen though. That would be a great school project! Clear skies.
