I was surprised it was that high, since a significant amount of those have been spent in aircraft and on ships on the other side of the world. But that’s the magic of modern satcom, I guess.
It is a bit surreal to have been born in a time before the, non-research, Internet and now to live in a time where almost everyone has access to The Network from anywhere inside the Earth’s first 2 Lagrangian points. I don’t think the Mars Relay Network is directly connected to the public Internet so no Internet on Mars, yet (coming soon, pre-order now.)
Absent a major catastrophe this will likely be the default state of humanity going forward. Not having data will eventually seem as odd as living without electricity or plumbing.
Wow never missing a day, I couldn’t do anything that regularly whit without fail, I think.
