SpaceX Moon Mission To Set Up Lunar Mobile Network Underway

NASAApollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong working at an equipment storage area on the lunar module.

The moon could soon have its own mobile network with SpaceX set to carry out a private moon mission that will enable high-definition streaming from the lunar landscape back to earth. The mission coincides with the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing and will be the first privately funded Moon landing in history.

The project will be a joint venture by Vodafone Germany, network equipment maker Nokia and carmaker Audi, the latter of which will provide the rovers for the mission. Berlin-based PTScientists will lead the mission and will be launched aboard a Falcon 9 rocket in 2019.

In a recent post on Twitter, Vodafone Group announced their plans to install a 4G network on the moon. This will then send the first ever live HD video feed of the lunar surface. Simply called “Mission to the Moon,” the goal is to approach and study NASA’s Apollo 17 lunar rover, which was used in 1972.

During the mission, Nokia Bell Labs will create a “space-grade ultra compact network” weighing in at just one kilogram. Once this is completed, Vodafone will then set up a 4G network to connect two Audi lunar quattro rovers to a base station. The signal, which will operate in the 1,800-MHz frequency band, will be broadcast to a global audience from a mission control center in Berlin.

“This project involves a radically innovative approach to the development of mobile network infrastructure,” Vodafone Germany CEO Hannes Ametsreiter said in the same statement. “It is also a great example of an independent,…

Why the Giving in Your Church Is Decreasing

-
0

You are trying to comprehend why the giving levels in your church are down. You may know several possibilities, but you aren’t certain. As I have worked with several congregations, we have isolated the issue to one or a few causes. See if any of these causative factors may be at work in your church.

  1. Lower attendance. Okay, I may be stating the obvious here, but it is worth noting. I spoke with a pastor whose church’s giving is down 15 percent from a year ago, and the attendance is down 12 percent. There is a high correlation between attendance and giving, even if you have a strong online giving component. It is also worth noting that attendance frequency is down in many churches, if not most churches, as well. The family who attends three times a month is more likely to give more than the same family attending two times a month.
  2. Generational shifts. Builders, those born before 1946, are more likely to give to the church out of institutional loyalty. Boomers and Gen X have the highest family incomes, but their giving is not as consistent. Millennials thus far are not strong givers in our churches. In many churches, the Builders are being replaced with Millennials. In other words, more generous givers are being replaced with less generous givers.
  3. Giving to purposes rather than organizations. From the Builders to the Millennials, there has been a dramatic shift in the motivations for giving. The Builders, as noted above, are more likely to give out of institutional loyalty. Thus, church leaders…
