Visste att jag hade läst om detta tidigare någonstans, (se artikeln nedan). Tycker dock att det faller på sin egna orimlighet.
Det antal satteliter som skulle krävas för
en ständig access samt kostnaden för att skicka upp alla G4:a bestyckade satteliter i yttre rymden skulle bli skyhög. Verkar som att alla är lite överhypade just nu!
Som tur é så vet vi svaret i kväll!

Mac in Space
28 October 2000.
SkyCorp has signed an agreement with NASA to fly the first web server in space. The cool part: The Web server will be a PowerMac G4 running Mac OS X Server.
The satellite´s computer will use a G4 500 Mhz processor running OSX with a webserver running under Apache. The server will have 10 GB of storage space and will be hosting up to several thousand websites. The server will also have a mail server that will allow people to get email directly from space.
The SkyCorp satellite will use the 802.11 Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) worldwide industry standard, and will be accessible for operations purposes at up to 11 Mb/sec. This protocol is the core of Apple´s AirPort wireless technology developed jointly by Apple and Lucent Technologies. For end users on the ground, Wingo says that 56kbps speeds will be available to people with wireless devices - when the satellite is overhead.
