Funny you pick that example! We just had an internal hack day on Friday and Bartek (who also worked on Interstellar) was working on a SMS client as his project. I'll ask him to swing by and post some thoughts on it here but he is in Europe so asleep now. (I work for Stellar.org).
And thanks for the kind words - in our view, to handle the last mile problem, we need to build things to be accessible and as modular as possible which will hopefully make things much easier for developers everywhere. By bringing down the barriers of use of the code base, we will hopefully see more developers building things for their local communities and starting to fill in the gaps in the last mile. Goal: let a thousand flowers bloom!

Oh, and don't forget this:
"Chat with Iris and Bartek—the devs who worked on Interstellar — this Thursday, June 11, at 9am PST in #dev on our public Slack"

I wonder how space start-ups will be called in future now that words like "stellar" and "terraforming" are taken. Refactoring.org for asteroid mining? Recursive.net for solar system cargo transport?
It would be interesting to consider a hardware device that would act as a wallet, with a SIM card that would enable it to communicate transactions through SMS/text messages.
In my view, the biggest issue with Stellar.org, or any other crypto currency trying to solve the "unbanked" problem, is the last mile.
