It wouldn’t be NANOG.  Perhaps LUNOG or MOONOG.

Right. This means we are going to catch a spaceship for a future nanog / have
interplanetary governance federation debates with space aliens from Andromeda,

More like IP to Nokia's new cell network on the moon:

(Everyone on the moon will want to have access to LOL cats!)

Or... using DTN (https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/dtn/about) to reach Mars and other
planets by being relayed through communications relay satellites similar to the
Mars Telecommunication Orbiter (canceled),  Mars Odyssey or Mars
Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft.

Or... IP to robots visiting other non-planet objects in the solar system like
comets/asteroids:

https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-47293317

Or... <insert something I haven't though of here>

The IPI idea has been around for a long time now:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interplanetary_Internet

The main question is will NANOG On The Road meet on the moon?  I missed
the only Hawaii one, so maybe I could make the moon one!
