[time-nuts] time sync by moonbounce

[jimlux]

Apparently, they used moonbounce between DSN stations to synchronize to 
5 microseconds in 1968. It was easier and cheaper than flying cesium 
clocks around. (And the Rb standards weren't good enough).

History of DSN - mostly about politics, history, transmitters and 
receivers, but a whole section on timekeeping, phase measurements, etc. 
starting around page 133 (The DSN Inherent accuracy project), and the 
discovery during Mariner that UTC and UTI were different enough to cause 
nav errors.
