What I love about the modern world is how it strives for excellence for the most seemingly mundane things. Like laying cables longer than the Earth's circumference to improve internet speeds, or sending a rocket to space to set up 4G on the moon.
Yep, that's actually happening, and the 4G-enabled rocket is on its way to the moon right now. Meanwhile, there are still parts of my town that are network black spots, but that's probably not Nokia's fault.
I stumbled across Nokia's mission while reading up about the first datacenter to be sent to the moon, from Lonestar working with SSD company Phison.
With Lonestar aiming to offering super-safe backups for corporate data from 384,000 km from Earth, it's on Nokia to get a good 4G signal on the craterous dusty rock.
Nokia's space-faring 4G has launched as a part of the SpaceX IM-2 lunar mission, which set off for the stars from Florida yesterday.
