1. Internet speed is faster on the moon than it is is Columbia. Kinda’ sad, huh? This paragraph from a article is revealing:

Google’s Project Loon launches Wi-Fi balloons, and the company recently acquired drone maker Titan Aerospace to spread connectivity with drones. Facebook is pursuing a similar strategy with Ascenta.” – Bloomberg View
