Wow this tech is insane! Like, can you imagine having super fast internet up there in space? It's like something out of sci-fi . And that VulcanAlloy material is mind-blowing - 500°C?! That's like cooking a steak in the middle of space . I'm low-key excited for the potential to form a solar system-wide internet... the possibilities are endless !

I'm loving this record-breaking 130 R&D 100 Awards for NASA Glenn Research Center! It's amazing to see their innovative work on High-Rate Delay Tolerant Networking (HDTN) being recognized, especially the potential to revolutionize data streaming and communication in space. I can imagine how exciting it must be for the team behind this project, especially Daniel Raible and Rachel Dudukovich who co-invented it .

But what really got me thinking is the implications of this technology extending far beyond NASA's orbit . The idea of a solar system-wide internet supporting data exchange between Earth, spacecraft, and future human missions to the Moon and Mars? That's just mind-blowing! However, I do wonder about the scalability and maintenance costs involved in such an ambitious project .

As for VulcanAlloy, that breakthrough soft magnetic nanocrystalline material is straight-up genius . Operating above 500°C, maintaining efficiency at high temperatures and frequencies? That's some serious tech right there! But how does this translate to real-world applications on Earth? I'm curious to see where this research takes us next .

All in all, these achievements are a testament to NASA Glenn Research Center's innovative spirit and dedication to pushing the boundaries of what's possible . Can't wait to see what they come up with next!

OMG just saw this news! 130 R&D 100 Awards? That's insane!!! I mean, having high-speed internet in SPACE? That's like something from Star Wars ! And the fact that it's made possible by HDTN, a software solution created by NASA Glenn engineers... that's just genius . I'm no expert but I think this tech has huge potential for commercial space industry and even beyond! The idea of a solar system-wide internet is mind-blowing . Can you imagine being able to communicate with our astronauts on the Moon or Mars in real-time? It's exciting to see NASA Glenn pushing the boundaries of what's possible !
