The 100-Million Mile Network

mykepredko writes "eWeek has an article on the network and radio topography of the two Mars rovers and how they communicate with satellites in Mars' orbit as well as the Earth. The article ends by giving four rules for maintaining a space network, a) Automate processes, b) Bulletproof your gear, c) Be persistent and d) Simulate potential problems, which are probably good rules for any network."

Taken from your website: "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Server: Microsoft-IIS/4.0 Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2004 21:02:32 GMT Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 87" Does this mean your website runs on Windows? That must SUCK. (ps- Your thinkning of the Apollo missions, they used 386 chips, and no, they did not use microsoft products..)
