not really how it works but your imagination is healthy.

There's precedent. The .su (Soviet Union) ccTLD is still around. It takes registrations at the second level and is open to registrations from anyone regardless of nationality.

There are some examples https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.yu

But we got .rs and .me in exchange. The world just wants to maximize domain hacks :)

But aren't two letter TLD's reserved for country codes?

There will definitely be complaints if we colonize Jupiter's moons but the .io TLD has been commandeered by open source projects.

There are um, significant challenges to colonising Io.

It’s 400 active volcanoes to start with, in a body the size of Earth’s moon.

If we could tap its flux tube for energy though—- now that’d be cool.

What about Europa (.eu)?

> What about Europa (.eu)?

.eu is already the ccTLD if the European Union.

Yes, I was referring to the grandparent's comment about Jupiter moons and .io that can't be used. Odd wording from my side.

Ok grampa, let's use DNS. Should we all type code out by hand as well?
