The International Space Station has a new node, and it's not named 'Colbert'. This node spells the beginning of the expansion of the Internet into interplanetary space. It's not as if the Internet wasn't there already, but now it has a shiny new junction to outer space, making them potentially less buggy. The good news is that it could make it easier for researchers to download terrain porn from space probes. The bad news is that it could make it easier to start an interstellar holy war, as proselytizing by uploading the bible to aliens just got easier. In the end, it's probably best that URL-shortening sites are attempting to improve their services because by adding Mars and Luna to the Internets will almost certainly make already long Web addresses even longer.
