NASA has successfully tested the first deep space communications network modeled on the Internet.
The Interplanetary Internet must be robust enough to withstand delays, disruptions and disconnections in space. Glitches can happen when a spacecraft moves behind a planet, or when solar storms and long communication delays occur. The delay in sending or receiving data from Mars takes between three-and-a-half to 20 minutes at the speed of light.

Wow, just like Star Trek!
"We're receiving a sub-space distress signal"
"Captain, we're being hailed"
"Open hailing frequencies"
"You will be assimilated, resistance is futile!"
