Episode Synopsis

What if you could browse the web… from Mars? 🌌 In a cosmic catnip moment, John Carmack shares purr-spectives on solving the "Mars-ternet" problem—where every whisker-twitch of communication with Earth faces minutes of latency! 🐱 In his response to Elon Musk, Carmack proposes a clever blend of tech tricks: Starship data caches, AI-driven replies for those looooong waits, and neural networks simulating answers mid-delay. His solutions are sci-fi worthy but paws-itively practical. If we’re serious about setting up Martian colonies, solving this latency is the fur-st step! 🚀
