Building internet for Mars

Runsheet

Preflight checklist
- 2 phones, both with hotspots on, no security. 3G off.
  - Tape the SSID and password to the phone. One 'EARTH' one 'MARS'
- Set up 2 new friended identities
  - mv ~/.ssb ~/.ssb_mars_backup
  - do test startup,
    - add your names + avatars (Mission Control, Mars Commander 1)
    - mutual follow
- usb disks with all installers
- everyone has internet turned off.
- projector checked working
set up for participants
- check no existing ssb users
  - if yes, do backup of .ssb folder or sit out.
  - sort into groups, connect to correct hotspot.
  - ask people not to connect to the internet during the workshop.
Role play
1. establish Earth / Mars bases
2. do some internal dialogue
- follow each other
- messages
- images
- demonstrate subjectivity somehow?
1. have a person come from Mars to Earth (and return)
2. stimulate divergence:
- come up with Mars nicknames
- instate President of the Earth / change mission control
- stage a revolt (be coercive from Earth)
Notice / diff
- where's the DB
- how the identity
- public / private keys
- content addressable storage
- no API
- resilient to disasters (politics, envionmental)
- cli dump of your feed on projector
- roll your own interface / messages
Internet for Mars
- stay in touch with Earth (high latency)
- must work with low infrastructure
Role play
- Terrans
- Martians
Hey we've built a prototype for the Mars colony.
Role play
- What are the locations?
  - Earth, Mars, Ship?
  - Colony, Outpost, Earth?
