Wifi on the Moon!
NASA and MIT have joined forces in making this
happen, wifi on the moon! Yep, even when you are visiting the surface of
earth’s only naturally occurring satellite you will be able to connect with all
your loved ones (and everybody else basically) on the internet. The plan is to
create gateway nodes through which wifi will be implemented. The wifi on the
moon will be even faster (hence better) than the stuff we have here because there
is no atmosphere on the moon to prevent wifi signals traveling with ease. Four
telescopes in New Mexico are already set up to send the signal to the moon and
plans are on the drawing board to connect the rest of our solar system to the
internet. The internet has already made our planet seem smaller by bridging the
distance between all of its inhabitants, now it’s poised to make the universe a
smaller more accessible place too…
Next time I hear my grandson holler out, “Grandma!
Reset the wifi!” from his fixed position in front of his PlayStation on the
other side of the house, I’m going to consider sending him to the moon!
