Session description

The Artemis plan calls for human habitation of the Moon from 2028, currently under international consideration from the perspectives of habitation, mineral resource collection, food and medicine, and is considered the first step towards sending humans to Mars in the future. Communication with family and others is essential when people are away from Earth for long periods. Astronauts on the ISS are already guaranteed a private conversation with their families on the ground at least once a day, and can even watch football games using web and remote conferencing technology, but the ISS is 400 km from the ground, and its latency is less than that of a geostationary orbit satellite (located 35,786 km above the ground) is said to be 500 ms.   The distance to the Moon is 380,000 km, which theoretically translates into a latency of 2,600 ms.

Under these conditions, it is expected to be difficult for people living on the Moon to explore the Web, hold remote meetings with their families or watch football games, as they do on Earth, due to time-outs and other problems with current technology.

In this breakout session, we would like to discuss the possibility of using web technology on the Moon in the same way as on Earth, although the speed of light cannot be exceeded.

Thank you for proposing a session!

You may update the session description as needed and at any time before the meeting, but please keep in mind that tooling relies on issue formatting: follow the instructions and leave all headings and other formatting intact in particular. Bots and W3C meeting organizers may also update the description, to fix formatting issues or add links and other relevant information. Please do not revert these changes. Feel free to use comments to raise questions.

Do not expect formal approval; W3C meeting organizers endeavor to schedule all proposed sessions that are in scope for a breakout. Actual scheduling should take place shortly before the meeting.
