The early-stage satellite internet project has just received $650,000 in seed funding to work on development and technical reviews to connect the Earth and the Moon and possibly Mars with broadband.

Aquarian Space announced funding from Draper Associates Thursday (March 17) as a step along its ultimate goal of bringing high-speed internet between Earth, the Moon and Mars in the coming years, fast enough to stream 4K video. The company aims to deploy the first communications system on the moon by 2024.
