Artemis II Spaceship Somehow Has Better Reception Than Vodafone User Sitting In Suburban Park

A local woman is trying to wrap her head around the fact that astronauts that are going over 300,000kms away from Earth, have better reception than her at her local park.

Sitting on a slightly damp bench while walking her dog, 28 year old Lily Porter stared at her phone as it flicked between one bar, SOS, and nothing at all, despite being less than 8 kilometers from the CBD.

“Meanwhile these blokes are halfway to the moon sending crystal clear video back to Earth” she said, holding her phone up towards the sky like it might catch something.

The astronauts aboard Artemis II are expected to travel hundreds of thousands of kilometers from Earth while maintaining consistent communication with ground control, a feat Lily describes as “a bit of a stitch up.”

“I’m not asking for much” she continued.

“Just enough reception to load a single Instagram story while I'm at the park”

Vodafone representatives have reassured customers that improvements are on the way, encouraging users to “try pointing their phone in the sky or some shit “.

After 10 minutes refreshing her feed, Lily had briefly achieved 4G after walking into the middle of an oval, before immediately losing it again as soon as she sat down.
