Jessie Atkin posted a blog up on Digital Landing about the latest internet upgrade, now for users in space!
Lets talk Disruption Tolerant Networking. I know, it sounds like any network, any plagued internet connections, but this is still something new.
DTN is basically space style internet. That’s space as in the cosmos. Information can now be transmitted from NASA to ships about 20 million miles away. The hitch is the delay. The connection is not continuous and data is often stalled and late, but hey, it’s still internet in deep space. And it does put any sluggish earth bound computers in perspective doesn’t it?
