Nokia selected by NASA to build cellular network on the moon

I see nice things like this and I wonder if they could’ve spent that money on actually making better service and proving more coverage in hard to reach areas.

Not to be facetious or anything, but I'd argue the moon is a hard-to-reach area with a distinct lack of coverage.

Now, I don't think it's going to impact a significant number of end-users, so probably not great from that perspective.

Who? Nasa? Nasa is not in telco business the last time I lopked. And it’s not certainly Nokia’s business to provide cellular coverage. They provide the hardware but the actual coverage is implemented by network providers installing the hardware after purchase.
