I’ve been watching For All Mankind and it got me thinking about networking in space… TTLs, 64k packets, transmission mediums, etc. As a ‘network generalist,’ I find more and more niches to deep dive into… If you specialize in a certain networking niche, what is it? Would you consider networking in space?

Some informative reading below:

    I read somewhere about having a theory to deploy a space craft that was in a orbit that would bring it close to mars and earth on semi regular intivals. With the idea being the craft is a giant hard drive. You upload via laser when its close and downoald on the other end. It does not provide real time comms but instead bulk data transfer capabilities.

    I tried googling looking for a ref quickly but could not find it sorry.

      Like a sneaker-net, but in space! I like it!
