Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? I just the other day got… an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday. I got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially. They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It’s not a big truck. It’s a series of tubes. And if you don’t understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it’s going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

Imagine a large rock, suspended by helicopters a few miles up in the air.
Now drop the rock. How fast is it going when it hits the ground?
The same thing is true for a rock falling from space, but more so. Regardless of initial conditions: if it ever contacts the ground, it will be moving at least 11 kilometers per second.

- Comment on Nokia Put a 4G Cellular Network on the Moon but Couldn’t Make a Phone Call 8 months ago:
That’s correct. IM-1 in Feb 2024 and IM-2 in Mar 2025 both ended with tipped-over landers.
- Comment on Nokia Put a 4G Cellular Network on the Moon but Couldn’t Make a Phone Call 8 months ago:
