"Working with NASA and JPL, Cerf has helped develop a new set of
protocols that can stand up to the unique environment of space, where
orbital mechanics and the speed of light make traditional networking
extremely difficult. Though this space-based network is still in its
early stages and has few nodes, he said that we are now at "the front
end of what could be an evolving and expanding interplanetary
backbone." Father of the Internet Vint Cerf is responsible for
helping develop the TCP/IP protocols that underly the web. In his role
as Google's chief internet evangelist, Cerf is dedicated to thinking
about the future of the net, including its use in space."
