Comment on Is the moon too far for your data? IBM's Red Hat is teaming up with Axiom Space to send a data center into space
Nothing would stop you from running a DNS server on Mars and handling requests locally.
The problem isn’t the DNS requests. It’s the data synchronization that would have to occur if you were accessing a service hosted on Earth.
It’s called caching and it’s been mostly solved for decades (except invalidation).
There are many places on Earth where DNS servers have high latency, low bandwidth, and intermittent connectivity, yet still function fine. It’s already a solved problem.
