		<description>So, I assume that the top level domains in an &#039;interplanetary internet&#039; in the Sol system would be single-letter codes designating planets and other major bodies or zones in the system, such as: 

.y = mercury 
.v = venus 
.e = earth 
.m = mars 
.j = jupiter 
.s = saturn 
.u = uranus 
.n = neptune 

Then:

.a = asteroids? 
.c = comets? 
.p = plutoids?
.k = kuiper belt objects? 
.o = oort cloud objects?
.i = inter-stellar-bound objects? (like Finney &amp; Jones&#039; Fastships and Nomads )

any others? 

And, once it does go interstellar, would there be a .sol domain?

So, this blogsite&#039;s address would be: futurismic.com.e.sol

Cool!

Of course, there is also the issue of something being transient, like a spacecraft in orbit around a body before it goes to another body (like a mission to Mars, etc), so perhaps there would need to be a sub-domain for this case. And what about the naming convention for the primary star, and any others (like Alpha Centauri)? The speculations can be endlessly fun ...! :-)

Cheers,
