Google and Facebook want to bring the world online with drones ,
Commander Frizzle. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to establish a wireless signal (802.11n) to the subject's esophagus. To accomplish this, we recommend initial entry by way of the nasal cavity, as the mouth will have too much turbulence. If you run into trouble near the pharynx, it's acceptable (though not preferred) to divert course and deploy in the larynx. Plan on flying within the proximity for at least two weeks until Colonel Osmosis Jones can take over.
