true, but even before people get there, there's nothing wrong with using ip packets as a method of communicating with rovers and robotic probes. We're planning on sending dozen of probes to Mars, asteroids, Jupiter and Saturn and their moons and maybe even Pluto.

You're right. I'm pro space exploration. I really don't mind paying part of my tax for this. As a kid I thought I might live to see interesting things like commercial space travel. At 26, I'm a bit sceptical about the possibility to personally visit the Moon or Mars.
There are just so many things we need to improve and investigate first (even small things such as data transportation protocols).
Somehow the time for great leaps in technology seems to be over. Perhaps I was just more easily impressed as a kid..
