“Our world is becoming rapidly connected and as humanity ventures off planet they will take their appetites for LOLz, cat memes, silly YouTube videos, and iTunes with them making a need for space-based internet and other broadband services a reality according to panelists speaking on “The Future of Space-Based Communications” at the AIAA SPACE 2014 Forum in San Diego.”
