Solar System Internet Successfully Conducted Pioneering Delay Tolerant Network Edge Processing Test on Lonestar Data Holding's February Lunar Test Flight
ST PETERSBURG, Fla., Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In a major advancement for space exploration, Lonestar Data Holdings is thrilled to announce the success of its test for the Solar System Internet (SSI) of their ground-breaking Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) which leveraged the edge processing capabilities aboard Lonestar Data Holdings' data center mission enroute to the Moon which launched to the lunar surface on Intuitive Machines' second mission to the Moon on their lunar lander, Athena. The innovative DTN technology, designed to enable reliable communications in challenging space environments where high latency support is a requirement, was successfully tested. The application demonstrated how advanced medical data can be transmitted efficiently across vast distances with high latency, paving the way for enhanced astronaut health monitoring and potential remote medical procedures on future space missions. By leveraging the edge processing capabilities of Lonestar's data center, the experiment simulated hypothetical real-time medical data collection and transmission from Cis Lunar space and lunar orbit back to Earth, providing invaluable insights into the capabilities of space-grade network communications. 'We were excited to take part in this historic mission that bridges space exploration with medical technology,' said Vinton Cerf, a founding Board member of the Interplanetary Chapter of the Internet Society that is working on the SSI project. 'The DTN test on the Freedom Payload advanced our understanding of interplanetary communication systems but also highlighted the potential for remote healthcare in isolated environments.' Oscar Garcia, creator of Unified Medical Records for Space Exploration, said, 'The innovative and affordable digital health technologies for Earth and space that we have developed, and the advanced space communication systems coupled with the space data centers that Lonestar is pioneering for the Moon and beyond, present a new landscape for secure space healthcare systems, in times where data safety has turned into an essential demand. Our test will allow digital healthcare to be provided for the Moon and Mars in the near future.' Chris Stott, CEO and Founder of Lonestar said, 'Delay Tolerant Networks are the future for all digital communications in space. We were honored to be a part of enabling this crucial test for the Solar System Internet team.' The mission launched February 26th 2025 representing a significant step forward in the operational testing of the Solar System Internet, marking a pivotal moment in the use of space-developed technologies that could benefit Earth-based applications in remote or extreme conditions.

Consumer Watchdog Alert Promotes SB 29's Support For Rights Of Survivors Of Medical Negligence, Debunks Argument of Increased Costs
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A new Consumer Alert video from Consumer Watchdog features a mother whose son died at the age of 20 due to gross medical negligence and discusses the need for SB 29 (Laird), which continues survivors' rights to collect pre-death pain and suffering damages. SB 29 passed the California Senate and is awaiting action in the Assembly Appropriations Committee. The video also discusses the tragic death of Downey resident Tammy Smick's son Alex and debunks the claims that continuing survivors' rights to collect for their loved ones' suffering will increase medical malpractice costs. Watch the video. 'Since we could not recover for Alex's suffering before he died, that prevented my family from finding justice in a court of law because the damages available were not great enough,' Smick states. 'At the time California was only one of four states that did not allow compensation for pre-death pain and suffering. The lifting of the ban on pre-death pain and suffering damages in 2022 allowed other survivors to seek justice so families are not locked out of the courts as I was.' SB 29 extends the right of survivors to collect pre-death pain and suffering damages until 2030. Smick shows data on medical malpractice claims and premiums in the video. 'The change had no impact on medical malpractice insurance premiums or claims. In fact, in the year after the change took effect, malpractice claims as a percentage of premium were at their lowest point in decades,' Smick notes. 'The bill will help patients and not impact doctors, hospitals or clinics with any increased costs. I urge your support for SB 29.' Doctors' malpractice insurance rates also did not rise after the ban on pre-death pain and suffering damages was lifted. Only one medical malpractice insurance company, representing just a few hundred doctors or less than 0.2% of the market, sought and received a rate increase since 2022.

Past participants have moved into roles such as Cloud Security Engineer, SOC Analyst, Incident Responder and Penetration Tester in under a year. Alumna Stephani Guimaraes Lima went from a Help Desk role to SOC Analyst L1 in just 10 months, crediting the program's mentorship and community for her success. 'The WiCyS Security Training Scholarship is not only about learning cybersecurity skills in every program tier. It's also about building my confidence and realizing I can achieve anything I set my mind to. This experience has truly changed my life and how I see my career and opportunities for my future. It also made connecting to inspiring people in the cohort possible,' said Lima. WiCyS Premier Supporter and Craigslist Founder Craig Newmark praised the program's industry impact: 'Cybersecurity is a field where everyone who can contribute should be involved. WiCyS plays a vital role in making this possible by opening doors for talented individuals regardless of their background,' said Newmark.
