That video is perfect. It answered every question I had and more.

I'm shocked that Google is behind this. I would have thought the ROI would be a hard sell.

It neat to hear how involved they are in space.

Setting that up would be challenging. You have to have each network node aware of locations of the rest of the network.

Thanks so much for sharing that. I'm sad it's only got 40 likes.

You’re welcome. I get the impression that it’s more a matter of Vint Cerf being behind it and Google just letting his curiosity drive him wherever. He started it with a team of scientists at JPL, I think. Google’s ROI is probably the prestige of having their brand next to whatever Vint does.
