Not everyone is happy with this vision. LTE networks usually operate between 700 MHz and 2.6 GHz, a region of the radiofrequency spectrum that partially overlaps with frequencies reserved for radio astronomy. Having such radio signals coming from the moon could potentially interfere with observations.
Commercial space flight doesn’t give a fuck about astronomers, just ask StarLink.
Article also says:
“For permanent deployment we’ll have to pick a different frequency band,” Klein says. “We already have a list of candidate frequencies to consider.”
Maybe they can make it less interfering
They finally decided to “Finnish” the Moon.
Funny thing, it’s just a box full of Nokia 3110’s. The batteries last just fine all the way through the lunar night.

This isn’t Reddit. Why are you still using the fucking /s. Jesus Christ. People came here to get away from the dumb-shits on Reddit. And you just go “Durr, /s mean im joking.”
All /s does is say “please don’t downvote me, the fake internet points means too much to me.”
We get fucking sarcasm. Just because you’re dumb as fuck doesn’t mean WE need the S. Grow the fuck up.
You could just be kind and everything would be fine
People assume everyone can read every tone until someone suddenly doesn’t
It’s gonna be okay, really. What’s the worst that can happen with a not-even-mandatory tone tag?
Edit: Never mind, judging by your comment history you are obsessively toxic, going to just block.
:)
Hey! Fuck you!
Don’t listen to this person. I’m dumb and appreciate the added clarification. /srs
Oh, so you actually thought it was a box of Nokias, and then saw the “/s” and thought “oh my! It was a joke!”
Yeah. Not buying it.
Reality is often stranger than fiction
There’s been some great microsats built around cell phones.

They’re just computers with batteries, sensors, and radios. The rigors of space are the real issue, but their functionality is spot on for the needs onboard satellites. Using one as a base station for communications would be an option too.
Its good to get down to business on social media now that we are on lemmy. No more being distracted by fun, and no more being slowed down by considering the person behind the comment.
Nah, you’re wrong. People’s reading comprehension on Lemmy is unironically worse than anywhere else I’ve ever been.
Why is it “unironically” worse? Saying it’s ironically worse doesn’t even make sense…but UNironically? Please tell me how that makes sense.
Wow, you are one pedantic fuck.
When you get banned for forgetting to put quotes or /s you’ll understand.
Uhm, what.
Fuck yes
HELL
FUCKING
YES
It’s not enough capitalists destroy our planet. They have to mess up other bodies in our system.
It’s fucking sad and selfish.
It’s free real estate
What you get for free costs too much.
I know, I hate this timeline.
NASA’s Artemis program calls for bringing the astronauts back to the moon as early as 2028 and further expanding that presence into a permanent habitat in 2030s
Can’t believe it’s taking this long to get a moon base, but by god, any news on this front is good news!
Considering the political climate; I’m not.
The major world powers that could achieve this have had… Other priorities, unfortunately.
