How would that be a useful comparison? Aren't the use-cases too different?
Not only is the moon >100x farther away (even accounting for near-horizon satellite angles), but you're also trying to bounce a signal off it as a passive reflector, which is harder than just transmitting something an active lunar receiver could detect and re-transmit back.
If starlink were anywhere close to as far away as the moon, you would have a comparable antenna size. That's like bragging about how compact your zoom lens us while your buddy trying to get photos of the Martian canals.
Besides the point of the supposed achievement, that is supposedly confirmed, my point will be that Epoch.ai is possibly just a PR firm for *Western* AI providers, then possibly this news is untruth worthy.
Why do you think that it is a good idea to make it public ?
It is obviously half hallucinated mostly broken unusable piece of low effort (on human part), with as much value as blurry image generated with stable diffusion that people now widely consider bad taste and slop.
I hope I did not give the impression that I wanted people to actually use this. I'm just using this as a test bench similar to how Anthropic made a C compiler with Claude, which of course they do not recommend you use.
I've tried similar project, as it turns out it is surprisingly hard to reliably move second's hand and not wobble in place, you need to drive quartz motor so precisely to make gears move.
