Is there internet on mars or glimpse into the future

Prologue

In the courtyard 21xx year. More than a billion people live on Mars. No, we did not learn how to turn off the space, but we did engines that accelerate to practically the speed of light, and today the flight to the nearest planet lasts for several hours. Life rages, but there are problems with the network. Let's think how to solve them. Therefore, I suggest everyone to dream and reflect on an unusual problem.

Physical essence

The Internet is no longer a global network. Physically, the speed of data exchange is limited by the speed of light, which means that we cannot achieve fast data exchange. The minimum distance from Mars to Earth is 55.75 million km (when the Earth is exactly between the Sun and Mars), the maximum is about 401 million km. It turns out that the signal will go from about 186 seconds. up to 1337 seconds or from 3 min. up to 22 min. (well, or 12 minutes on average). It is unlikely - whether someone will be pleased with ping in 44 minutes. :)

Hosting

Transplant hosting services appear that provide server synchronization services on different planets. As the planets rotate, data transmitters are needed to the network of satellites in the nearest orbit, constantly turned towards Mars. Now the one with a 800 MW laser in orbit, providing round-the-clock synchronization, becomes cool. But the biggest problems arise when the sun is between the planets. Then interplanetary switches provide communication (how else to call them). Orbital data centers are also being built, the purpose of which is the same distance from the planets to ensure the fastest data synchronization.

Domain names

Google on Mars is not Google Earth. Well, everything is simple. Not for nothing, first-level domains were called “first-level domains”, because in IT the entire account is conducted from zero. There is an explicit calculation here. With the conquest of Mars brought the domains of the zero level or null domains. Now there is habr.ru.earth and habr.ru.mars . When typing habr.ru - DNS issue the nearest.

Connection

SMS / MMS will be on the rise again, if of course they live. Unprecedented development of audio and video 3D messages. Links in the e-mail send almost no sense.

Then carefully look at the comments and supplement your ideas, suggestions, problems.

Why many people live on Mars does not really matter. You can think of a million reasons. Interested in what to do with the global network or with areas that use it.
