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 Must be some powerful and very precise lasers.

Advisory for astronauts: Please do not look directly at the internet

@dmd @jamesthomson It is a pity the OP hasn't given us a link to source information, but I'm guessing the lasers are on satellites, so they don't pass through any atmosphere and thus don't suffer attenuation: they don't need to be all that powerful!
