Imagine we put 1 satellite in earth orbit, and another satellite in Jupiter Orbit, each with a special radio. The special radio takes radio waves and uses them to vibrate / oscillate a photon that is quantum entangled with its counterpart in the other satellite, which is then read and turned back into radio waves. Since what affects 1 entangled quantum particle affects its counterpart instantly regardless of the distance, wouldn't this deliver real-time conversations?

I'm guessing this would not work for some reason I didn't consider but man I'm fascinated by the idea...
Actually these researches are being held for many-many years. Quantum Communication Just Took a Great Leap Forward

Perhaps it will work someday, but it won't help us to make a contact with the aliens that live billion of light years away.
