Apparently, the Artemis II has 260 Mbps internet via lasers, I guess technology has improved a little bit since the last time we were visiting the moon.
@jamesthomson Although… the latency is pretty bad and getting worse. 😁 The light in those lasers will soon have to travel for >1 second.

I can imagine they will have some issues once the Moon gets between them and us, unless they have some kind of repeater.
@jgg @jamesthomson One or more repeaters in Moon orbit to preserve line-of-sight would be pretty awesome. I wonder if they could just be (adjustable) mirrors?
