Introduction

The Internet has become the epitome of human connectivity and knowledge sharing. As we've grown increasingly dependent on this intricate web of networks, its vulnerabilities have also become apparent. A cosmic internet, resilient even to Earth-bound apocalypses, is moving from the realm of luxury to necessity.

But before diving into the technicalities, let's set the stage: The aim of this post is not just to discuss the architecture of a hypothetical cosmic internet. It's about having fun with the idea, stimulating our collective imaginations, and maybe, just maybe, inspiring some thought-provoking discussions. I'm an experienced software architect, but let's be clear—my expertise doesn't extend to cosmic network design. This is a venture into the exciting unknown, a blend of science and imagination, and I invite you to join me on this speculative journey.
