did google just complete a "deep-space communications protocols" POC ??
"Today Anousheh Ansari, the first female private space explorer, called the Googleplex from the International Space Station. (We're nervously awaiting the long-distance bill.) Larry Page took the call" – Via GoogleBlog |
i thought the ISS was already equiped with internet access, atleast they have dozens of satellites orbiting near by, you could just point an antenna to one of them. Even better, XM radio =) |
But what is the Protocal used Josue ?? Agreed-- XM/ AOD etc are nice.. but if you remember correctly Vint Cenf was developin the MARS and other deep space protocals ofr JPL/NSA just as he joined Googles!! :)- |
