Does my cell plan cover roaming on the moon?

Sorry you need to upgrade your plan for that.

> To achieve those ambitious goals, advanced communication systems are crucial. It’s not about astronauts sharing pictures on social media; it’s about facilitating complex operations, enabling seamless collaboration, and supporting scientific advancements and economic endeavors.

I for one am actually quite excited to see the first cellphone-grade photos and selfies from the moon. Those would (in my opinion) indicate we have taken another step towards making life in space more commonplace.


Energency call only. /s
