Seems like its at least bigger than the Apollo Lunar Module from the 70's

And with modern forms of entertainment to make the trip less boring.

    I wonder if Starlink works if the dish is above the satellites. Technically GPS can work from the moon.

      Starlink uses phased arrays pointed at the ground but lasers between satellites. So it wouldn’t be impossible to spin one around and have it bounce traffic to earth through the swarm pointing down.

      But these satellites are very close to earth compared to the moon. It wouldn’t only save 0.3% transmit power vs just sending right to the surface. It’s very unlikely the consumer antennas could manage hitting an earth satellite from the moon.
