NASA is going to build Wi-Fi on the moon? What do you think? [Copy link]

I just watched the news and saw this: NASA is going to build Wi-Fi on the moon to solve the Internet problem on Earth

The following is the specific news content:

A report by Fox News on the 12th said that a new NASA study revealed how the lunar Wi-Fi network would affect communities on Earth that cannot get a stable network signal. The study was conducted by NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, as a space test case to try to solve the problem of network connectivity on Earth.

Meanwhile, the Greater Cleveland Partnership, an economic development group, is working with NASA to figure out the most effective way to bring Wi-Fi to the nearly 31 percent of Cleveland households that don't have broadband access.

In recent years, many people in the United States have complained about the backwardness of the United States' Internet construction, and some media and experts especially like to compare it with China.

Fox News said that although the lunar Wi-Fi network is still in the exploratory stage, the application of this concept has brought many inspirations to the construction of community networks on Earth.

Regarding the deployment of networks on the moon, media reported last year that in order to achieve the goal of building a lunar base in the future and eventually maintaining human life on the moon, NASA allocated more than $300 million to fund dozens of companies to promote related experiments on the lunar surface. Related technologies include remote power generation, cryogenic freezing, robotics, safe landing technology, and of course the network.

Some experts joked that the Internet signal on the moon may be better than on Earth because there will be no trees, buildings or TV signals to interfere. The moon's network will be specially designed to withstand the extreme temperature, radiation and vacuum environment on the lunar surface.

Fox News reported that the city of Cleveland recently allocated $20 million to try to solve the problem of expanding local broadband access. The plan to build a network on the moon also inspired the local area.

"If they can build a network on the moon, then I think we should be able to build it here! I never really thought about how working in space would apply to what we do here... It's a very powerful solution, and that's what we want," said Katherine Tkachik, chief innovation officer of Cuyahoga County, where the city of Cleveland is located.

What do you think about this matter?

Ordinary people can't use it. I think 5G is enough.

This may be a conspiracy. Although the moon belongs to all mankind, there is an agreement on first-development first-use. If the Americans set up the wifi area first, it means they developed it first. If other countries develop it later, it means the Americans agree.

I think what you said makes sense.

This is indeed a new technology, and whoever enters first will gain the greatest benefits.

I really don’t dare to imagine it. It’s scary just to think about how much radiation the electrons would radiate.
