Mobile phone reaches the moon

I found this news interesting and weird at the same time. NASA has joined hands with the British National Space Centre to build a cell phone network on the moon. Yep; you heard me right. On the moon!!!

Already, as we all know, NASA has planned to build a colony in the moon after 2020. Now, it is planning further to help the people who might live in that proposed colony. With an uplink speed of 2 Kbps and downlink speed of 3 Kbps, you’ll be able to send text messages from earth to moon.

What next? Will the IRS start an office in the moon to collect taxes from the colonists over there?
