Project Loon, Google's plan to bring the Internet to everyone

Project Loon is Google's bold experiment to bring the Internet to the world, ferried on the back of high-altitude balloons. The project has come a long way since it was first announced back in June of 2013. A balloon that once took 3 to 4 days to create can now be produced in a just a few hours. Google launches these balloons with automated cranes and can now launch dozens of balloons a day. And these can stay aloft for over a hundred days, a mission-control center has been set up to keep track of the thousands of balloons that will be maneuvering about the globe, guiding them into ideal places to maximize Internet coverage.
