Designing an Apocalypse-Resilient Cosmic Internet

A Technical Dive into Building a Network that Survives Earth's Apocalypse

Introduction

The Internet has become the epitome of human connectivity and knowledge sharing. As we've grown increasingly dependent on this intricate web of networks, its vulnerabilities have also become apparent. A cosmic internet, resilient even to Earth-bound apocalypses, is moving from the realm of luxury to necessity.

But before diving into the technicalities, let's set the stage: The aim of this post is not just to discuss the architecture of a hypothetical cosmic internet. It's about having fun with the idea, stimulating our collective imaginations, and maybe, just maybe, inspiring some thought-provoking discussions. I'm an experienced software architect, but let's be clear—my expertise doesn't extend to cosmic network design. This is a venture into the exciting unknown, a blend of science and imagination, and I invite you to join me on this speculative journey.
