Space 2.0

NASA has announced that it has plans to begin building so-called 'tiny satellites' weighing between 11 and 110 pounds. Apparently these things will be able to 'network' with each other to form satellite 'constellations'. Pretty soon satellites will also be sending you event invitations and changing their statuses on a daily basis.

i'm assuming it will be technology similar to swarm robotics (http://youtube.com/watch?v=rYIkgG1nX4E)
but somehow correcting for, well, almost every physical force these robotics were developed with on earth...

and also i find cosmic E-vites to be an alarmingly alluring idea.
