Computing economics are changing. Today there is rough price parity between (1) one database access, (2) ten bytes of network traffic, (3) 100,000 instructions, (4) 10 bytes of disk storage, and (5) a megabyte of disk bandwidth. This has implications for how one structures Internet-scale distributed computing: one puts computing as close to the data as possible in order to avoid expensive network traffic.

1/ There are no electrical outlets in space to provide power. So the formula in Jim Gray's classic paper on distributed computing must be expanded and is more complex. Power is more scarce in space. On earth: "Put the computation near the data."
