Explanation – Project Loon is a research and development project being developed by “X” (formerly Google X) with the mission of providing Internet access to rural and remote areas. The project uses high-altitude balloons placed in the stratosphere at an altitude of about 18 km (11 mi) to create an aerial wireless network with up to 4G-LTE speeds.  It was named Project Loon, since Google itself found the very idea of providing internet access to the remaining 5 billion population unprecedented and crazy.
