Internet
and other mans of communication are controlled by Governments, and
are even censored in some countries. To fight this censorship, the
Chaos Computer Club, a German group of hackers, which is even against
anti-piracy laws because they undermine online freedom, is planning
to create its own satellite system, in order to allow a safer and
more independent access to Internet...
But, putting a satellite
in stationary orbit turns out to be difficult for these hackers as
they have a low budget and they do not have the high-tech know-how to
send up their satellite! Some people fear that this new grid, free
from any control, would allow illegal communications.
The final, and very
ambitious, goal of these hackers is to send a civilian to the moon
within the next 23 years...
Given their limited
means, their grandiose ambitions would appear a little Utopian!
