How does internet connectivity work across the System? I recently read that NASA had an orbiter for Mars planned (canceled) that was supposed to establish an internet connection between Mars and Earth for the quicker relay of scientific data. I’d like to know what solutions were developed for this in the SR timeline. The answer the comes to mind for me in a series of interconnected planetary internets. And that connection speed between them varries based on raw distance. An example being EarthNet to MarsNet is relatively seamless, but EarthNet to SaturnNet takes up to a few minutes. Or maybe more casual use of Quantum communication makes all this moot. Thoughts?
