Nokia's plan is to build a 4G/LTE network, and eventually transition to 5G (just like the rest of us). It will be "the first LTE/4G communications system in space," according to NASA's announcement.

Nokia's plan is

If the socialists come to power now, they will cancel Trump's "Lunar Program" in the same way as the idiot Abama canceled Bush's lunar program.

NASA will once again lead a stupid worm and their main task will again be the fight against Global Warming.

True, here I do not quite understand why blacks need to fight warming, because it will be as warm and pleasant as in their native Africa?

There is nothing on the moon to network

I hate that we seem to know more about Space than we do about the Oceans.

Let's figure out this planet first, why don't we...

It seems to me that this is a waste of $370 million of tax payer bucks.  :thumbdown:

Nope we know way more about the oceans than we do space as space itself actually has no definition because all definitions are actually theoretical ones.

Why are American tax payers paying a Finnish company for a system none of can possibly ever use? Gubberment running amok and pissing away money thats not theirs to piss away as usual. Lets start by taking the costs out of NASAs payroll.
Crazy but not stupid!

It is the age-old question of how much and on what the government can and should spend taxpayers' money.

There are many programs for which the population of the country does not see the need to pay.

Academic science, for example. The same ocean and space exploration. The majority of the population will shrug their shoulders and say, "Why do I need all this? What personally do I have the benefit of the fact that some high-brow bald bespectacled man will receive the Nobel Prize in genetics, for example."

Moreover, people sitting for 30-40 years in the Congress, which distributes funds, can only steal and lie. Lie and steal.

And we, trust these freaks, distribute the money that we earn with such difficulty and sweat and blood.

While you may trust them but the only thing I trust them to do is to lie, cheat and steal. We need single term limits and then to abolish political parties.

If Trump had been younger and more decisive, for the next 4 years we could have done without Congress at all. But since he is not young and not decisive, then in the future Nancy Pylosi and Smok Schumer will manage our money.

But much worse is the fact that Shmok is being replaced by completely brutal socialists, ready to kill those who disagree with them.
