Martian is an official term from the RFC's, though? It's mentioned in section 5.3.7 of RFC 1812 from 1995. That happens to be the exact section of the exact RFC with the recommendation whose kernel implementation is shown in the article. It seems to be fairly established terminology, having sat in that RFC for the last 28 years.

Thanks! It wasn't in the ones I looked at.

Darn, it's still a short-sighted choice. Even "interstellar" would be good for another 75 years or so ( https://i4is.org/what-we-do/technical/project-dragonfly/ ), though "intergalactic" would be better, even if ipv6 were used.

Jump it in the middle with "intergalactic planetary, planetary intergalactic" packets and nobody can think it's actually from space.

“TilBrooklyn” would be less confusing.
