I mean, actually the most terrifying thing we could find on Mars would be a congratulations screen saying we’ve finished the demo content.

Now I'm picturing trying to conduct a video meeting with a 10-40 minute lag for the people on Mars.

But that’s just how Teams operates today, how will it work on Mars?

And you will love time zone conversions. A "day" on mars is called sol, it's 24 hours 39 minutes. So if the meeting is at the same mars time every sol, it starts 40 minutes later each day... Weekly meetings drift 4 and a half hours each week

You don't need to go to Mars to deal with timezones .. plenty of people right here who have absolutely no idea that half the planet is dark at any one time and still schedule global events in their colloquial timezone rather than UTC.

And I experience that idiotic practice mostly from Americans and American companies

I would rather permanently cut off all contact between Earth and Mars than have to program day/time conversion between them. Especially with time zones and leap years.

Need satellites around each planet and around the sun for when earth and mars are on opposite sides of the sun and both people are on the night side

A solar conjunction of mars happens every 26 month and takes about two weeks. That's the perfect time to install Windows updates and reboot the system. At least that feels as if it also takes two weeks.

  • Lands on Mars

  • Attempts to turn Martian sand into glass panes

  • It doesn't work

Omg. On Mars we will never experience Windows.

You reached the end
