NOTE FROM JOHN:

NASA and networking engineers are hard
at work on the Interplanetary Internet.
Of course, *they* plan to use it for boring
things like research and exploration.
Our friends at the Top5 Internet Little Fiver have also taken
on the Interplanetary Internet topic this week. You can read
their “Top 9 Signs the Internet Has Gone Interplanetary”
at http://www.topica.com/lists/Top5Internet/read/
We’re sure that our favorite SciFi characters would love
to have Internet access. In fact, we’ve gotten access
to their Interplanetary Explorer Web browser caches…
