Friends of Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook were the first to catch wind of their latest creation. It's not an app, and it's not a security upgrade. It's actually a next-level breakthrough in communications. It's the stuff of Silicon Valley wet dreams, an aircraft that brings internet connectivity wherever it goes in partnership with internet.org. Using really fucking smart people, lasers, and solar power, a signal from a base station on planet Earth gets beamed to a "mother aircraft" that connects with other planes.

Those planes beam radio internet down from the sky, connecting anything in their reach. According to Zuckerberg, "it has the wingspan of a Boeing 737, but weighs less than a car and can stay in the air for months at a time." So, in theory, Facebook could launch a fleet of these Aquila and connect the most remote parts of the world to the rest of it. We're going on record to say this is the coolest thing Zuckerberg has done since inventing the relationship status.
