Looking at this page:
http://www.zdnet.co.uk/news/storage/2010/11/05/history-of-storage-cuneiform-tablets-to-flash-40090737/3/

it's also been proposed that the reflectors left by Apollo astronauts
on the Moon could allow the space between it and the Earth to be used
as a laser-delay storage system

So I can do you a three second delay, using a high powered laser, a
telescope and a photodiode.
But you will have to tell your customers it will only work once in a full moon.
