The seeds of Skynet?

[hym 358]

No, this is not the beginning of Skynet or anything similar. There is a growing demand for viable internet connectivity in space, and the current system is completely unprepared to deal with the challenges of space communication. As a result, work is ongoing to produce a series of communication protocols that can interface with current internet protocols while successfully coping with the realities of deep space communications.

Yes, I am aware of that. Can't smell sarcasm when you see it?

[hym 358]

Sarcasm is not one of those things that transfers well across the internet. (Maybe we should get them to work on a new sarcasm protocol. )

Maybe we should use an appropriate smilie. This one :kitty: for example. Perhaps we can all agree on a new rule? Kitty could be used as a quote mark.

This is how the big technologies starts, I mean, maybe in some decades or a century will be common in the new explorations.

<sarcasm>

Oh god, this will be usefull, since in a couple of years I will go to the space. I promise a lot of photos in FB .

</sarcasm>

I use that html tags structure or italic text to express sarcasm in the net. Since even in the real world I have serious problems to understand when the people is using a sarcasm, I tend to make identifiers to make me understand.

Wow! :kitty: Were you planning to live on a station, or something more solid like the Moon or Mars? :kitty: I am using Kitty for sarcastic brackets.

But seriously, Alejandro, have you read Arthur C. Clarke's Prelude to Space and Prelude to Mars?
