signal on the moon. Would the reception be a bit fuzzy on the moon?

screw xm radio. we'd need an internet connection so we could get on YA somehow while we chilled on the moon.
I think we'd have to piggy back off of NASA's signal though. Every other satelite points toward the earth.

They have several satellites (3 or 4 I think) pointed at the United States. So I don't think you would be able to get reception on the moon.

I would have to say no. Firstly because as you said they are pointed the wrong way. Secondly, satellites that cater to satellite radios are much much closer to the earth than the moon. Geostatic satellites are usually 600 miles up, while the moon is roughly 240,000 miles away. Not to mention there is much interference between the moon and the earth.

The distance is NOT much too long, but the signal is, in fact, recieved from [the ground station transmitter/uplink] and then directed back towards the earth [for the receivers].

What difference would it make? The antenna is pointed in the wrong direction and the distance is much too long.
