It's quite the opposite. We've sketched out a school platform using IPFS that allows very remote villages in third world countries that have little to no internet to still have viable "google drive" like experiences for school home work. The idea is that a single USB drive that contains all the updated files for the google drive is sufficient for the entire network (that exists in the village, that is decent, but has otherwise very low to no bandwidth to the outside world) to have access to the files. Or, a single node downloads the homework/movie/article/whatever, and the remainder of the network has access to it - through IPFS, which only asks for the content's hash, and gets it whever it can.

The same thing could be applied to space.

Have you actually used it? The usb with random information is a very versatile distribution method, I am not sure IPFS is much better than this.
