    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

    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.

      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’m using teams for two separate companies at the moment … you have to manually switch back and forth, and it’s not very quick at doing so :-/

    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.

          Urgh … so many times I have to say “I’ll only do this mandatory teams meeting if you pay me an unsociable working hours bonus, because you scheduled it for 3am” :-/

          The meeting is always pointless bullshit that could have been a 1-page email at most

            I love when companies schedule things like trailers, lives, premieres etc etc when most of the world is asleep

              If I’ll ever schedule some important event for huge number of people, I’ll use Martian time.

        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.

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

      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.

    Omg. On Mars we will never experience Windows.
