    I was just about to post this, the fact that it means that there is actually a precedent of astronauts using Teams on a mission, so we may be bringing Teams to the Mars for real, makes it a lot more funnier.

    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.

    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.

    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

    The most terrifying thing we could actually find on Mars? Ruins of an ancient proto-human civilisation that had reached a similar level of technological advancement to our own.

    I think the worst would be that they were one or two steps ahead, suggesting that the Great Filter is ahead of us.

    The film “Life” with Ryan Reynolds is pretty nightmarish.

    If ghosts were real, they’d be even more confusing than our own Earth ghosts, lol
