But they've forged ahead with their quest, getting partnership from Vodafone and Nokia.

They'll launch the rover, along with the gear for a 4G network, to the moon next year in a SpaceX rocket.

PT Scientists founder Robert Boehme told Kate Hawkesby it'll show people that there's plenty of opportunity to choose a career in space.
