Episode description
3.8 billion people on the planet don’t have access to the internet. But that could be about to change soon. While Elon Musk’s SpaceX is building internet access from satellites 340 miles off the earth in space, Google’s Project Loon is doing something similar.
In Loon’s case, however, internet access comes from just 12 miles up in the stratosphere.
Via balloons floating in the wind.
