Someone made this move, then someone cut-and-pasted back to Laser space communication, which looks more suitable, then I history-merged. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:00, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose "Extraterrestrial optical communication", it's not about extraterrestrial optical communications, it's only focused on lasers. There are many ways to use optical observables for communication extraterrestrially that do not involve lasers. -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 09:26, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support move, oppose proposed title. Something like Optical communication in spaceflight or Laser communication in space would better convey the subject of the article. --W. D. Graham 21:44, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Laser communication in space is fine. Optical communication in spaceflight would have the same objections noted in the history log - the this is really about laser communication and not other optical communication in space. Perhaps adding a bit about the mirror retro-reflecting light on the moon would alleviate this objection Leaving it alone for now to see if anyone else has input John Cab
