Qtum's Space Node is set to launch Feb. 2nd.  This will be atop a Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite to run a decentralized satellite system that advances satellite communications and provides an alternative for data transmission, storage, and other applications thousands of miles above ground.  This will truly help make crypto borderless even (hopefully) beyond China's Great Firewall.

Qtum's Twitter page [@QtumOfficial](https://twitter.com/QtumOfficial) has more updates you may follow.  Also you can read about Qtum's partnership with SpaceChain on this product by reading SpaceChain's CTO Jeff Garzik's [AMA on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Qtum/comments/7s0gru/blockchain_is_taking_us_to_the_moon_and_beyond/).

Speaking of partnerships.  Qtum has been making all kinds of partnerships almost seemingly daily which is what real crypto projects need including partnerships with Alibaba, Robin8, Odyssey, and even FreeBSD.  Qtum doesn't seem to be getting a lot of mainstream media attention, which for me is fine as I buy up more Qtum before the masses realize they really need to jump on the Qtum spaceship to the mooooon!
