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:

β€œFor permanent deployment we’ll have to pick a different frequency band,” Klein says. β€œWe already have a list of candidate frequencies to consider.”

Maybe they can make it less interfering

Funny thing, it's just a box full of Nokia 3110's. The batteries last just fine all the way through the lunar night.

It's not enough capitalists destroy our planet. They have to mess up other bodies in our system.

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.

They finally decided to "Finnish" the Moon.
