SPACE INTERNET

By WILLIAM NIGH

Thanks to Google, pretty soon you’ll be able to waste your life away browsing the internet from the moon. Vint Cerf, one of Google’s leading developers, is working on a new protocol called Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) to ensure access to the great latrine of human cerebral waste no matter where you are in the solar system. DTN replaces the old TCP protocol and improves upon its predecessor by allowing long gaps in communication between computer and server. This is a great advancement for astronauts who just couldn’t seem to catch those fleeting CP deluges on 4chan.

For those keeping score: People who believe NASA is gearing up to leave the planet before the Arizona Baying of the Earth’s landmass get ten more points for this story.
