Sharing impressive first images of the newly installed network, NASA officials confirmed Monday they had built a 4G tower on the moon tastefully disguised as a pine tree.
“It’s a little taller than any other trees that would be growing on the moon, but we’re still confident it will blend right in,” said NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine, who explained the 150-foot cellular tower would aid the agency’s goal of establishing a sustained presence on the celestial body without compromising the lunar landscape’s natural beauty. “It’s as realistic as any conifer you could expect to see on a stroll across the moon.

Who's decorated it this year?
مجھے تو فیک لگ رہا ہے
I hope to see a habitable planet filled with trees and creatures. If I create that, I will abandon planet Earth with its pros and cons forever😃
'Bridenstine added the administration would also affix a replica bald eagle to the top of the tower to scare away pigeons.' 🤣😂 NASASpaceflight Erdayastronaut KSpaceAcademy TGMetsFan98 thejackbeyer nextspaceflight
seriously?
Pine tree is the symbol of life and joy on planet Earth. It is still beautiful on Moon
CeleryVase KWintie where's the gottendammerung when you need it?
I respect NASA’s respect
5G I hope. CoronaVac
Ever since I turned 27 she has been sending me transmission message through radio but now she asked me to send a message to NASA which is you guys I'm supposed to tell you to send her a message that the covid-19 is endangering the planet and she'll come she said
When I was 5 years old I used to have a superior being named bastet we're coming from a plant in the dragon constellation and now she has she was visiting me when I was 13 years old too and again when I turned 14 but now that 27 years old she hasn't visit me but keeps on 💬
Hey there NASA I got some important information to tell you
“Trending in Science”. Perfection.
Next, there be a Starbucks on the moon. 🚀 💰 🌙 NASA LRO_NASA NASA_Lunar NASA_Johnson Astro_Jeff NASA_Astronauts
Can you hear me now!?
😂
Wonder what would happen if they planted real trees on the moon?
Had it been a 5G. It may have hinted at being believable.😅
There one of those in my neighborhood 😂
🤣
LOL at all the people responding to this that don't realize it's an Onion article. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
shouldve decorated it for chrismas. smh
सिर्फ तेरे लिए आर्डर दिया है नासा को मैने समझा luhlloo
.
Woah.
Wouldn’t a ‘Moon rock’ have been more appropriate
Ha!
Soon, you can pine for the moon.. and have a bit of a lag..
Hey just like where I live. Happy 5g Christmas everyone.
Shoulda been a monolith.
Alas, 'A Tree Grows in Tranquility' probably wouldn't sell as well as if it had grown in Brooklyn.
Happy Christmas in advance..Lol
protesters line up to condemn the ruined of visual amenity
Is this true🙄
Too bad its already obsolete. 5G is already a thing.
Luckily it isn't 5g or some moron would be building a giant ladder so they could get to burn it down.
This made me giggle.
Sure they did 🤪
Is this image real?
Haters will say this is photoshopped 🤷🏽♂️🎄
Leve_raged I love the onion
ET can now phone home for definite!
Good thing we didn't make a wild claim like NASA built the moon to put 4g tower on. Cause shooting a meateor into orbit with a 4g tower would have been a little more believable.
It blends in well
That would actually be pretty funny 😂
The perfect desktop background
Give me a break.
Not for long
If we actually landed on the moon Disney would have already established a theme park.
What, no monolith on the moon?!
6XG 😂
Make an article about Trump conceding, because a satire account will probably be the only way we’ll ever see an article about trump conceding
The moon is 1 step away from COVID..... Please help !
JeromyPresley
Least it blends Nicely with the other trees. :)
Nice touch with the accompanying shadow.
Wow, even the moon can't get 5G.
Has China a 5G on the moon already...?
The Moon-Karens are none the wiser.
Everyone on the moon contracts COVID19
can somebody please answer this for me... so it's been more than 70 years that have passed since they 'claimed' they went to the moon.. if they did with that relic old tech then why in tf have they never gone back with all these tech we have in this new age?
Thank god they won't be putting five G on the moon. I don't want my moon babies getting infected with harmful radiation beams
So classy.
Just like where I live in the Adirondacks we’ve got plenty of Frankenpines here .
In time for the 2021 human moon mission. Only the best for our astronauts 🙏🏻
Is this for real? Why would you do that? Planning on sending people there? Like prisoners maybe? That sh!ts ILLEGAL BTW! Bad idea. We can’t breath in space; that should be a pretty good indication that we SHOULDN’T be there. Just saying...
But who ya gonna call?
😂
what a stupid idea, theres not trees on a moon.,!!!
'Tastefully Disguised'? It sticks out like a fucking sore thumb. Is this a joke? WTF
$14.1 million ? Colour me suspicious, but seems somewhat cheap. However I'm sure someone at Nokia with a share portfolio made a fortune overnight.
Still can't get coverage on the dark side.
Pfft..4G?! Behind the times NASA.
humantransit It’s got to be funny guys.
Probably would've been more convincing to put a breathing apparatus on the tree to make it look alive...you think NASA would learn from the animators who made this scene in a Spongebob Squarepants episode
AndrewBellBNN Roaming charges are horrendous.
briski715 funny
Wait...trees aren't normally 4G towers?
It’s good they’ll get Netflix otherwise I don’t know what they’d do
Would it be too much to ask to put lights on the 'tree' for the holidays? I know, people will ask 'Where is the menorah 4G tower?'
It's a Festivus Pole now vent and state your grievences.
But it goes to 5?
I wonder how much that cost to bring that much weight into space
4G? Or 5G?
!!!!
so natural i can barely see it
LOLOLOL
“I think we’re going to the Moon because it’s in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It’s by the nature of his deep inner soul. We’re required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.” — Neil Armstrong
You would never have known it was there.
campwoodruff
this just proves the onion is fake news. we haven’t been on the moon since the sixties. way before the wireless phone generation. but it’s interesting to see how easily people fall for it.
It would have been 5G tower, but the Mare Undarum Neighborhood voted it down.
Prudent. Can't be having none of that 5G COVID on the Moon!
STOP FORESTATION OF THE MOON!
Lonesome
Would have been funnier if you'd made it a steel monolith.
FIsre SOON
We anticipate the launching of this service to take several months of advertising, and 15 years to implement MoonWide.
what, no 5G? 🤣
Repeat
Me fighting off the moon bears to get connection from the tower
I like seeing good news for a change.
This year I'm celebrating Christmas on the moon.
I’m glad they have SOME taste, those rockets they are sending up are too rustic in my opinion
wdym thats a 4G tower?
Workingonaname1
jewels8607 It's for our galactic friends to decorate for Christmas 👽
CatherineQ If only pine tress really gave us WiFi, we'd plant them everywhere! Instead, all they give us is free oxygen. 🥱
Particularly funny as I used to live near one of the worst ever pine tree disguised towers in the US. Those things are fooling nobody...
Meanwhile China deploys 5G on the dark side
