It doesn't work
Omg. On Mars we will never experience Windows.
Now I'm picturing trying to conduct a video meeting with a 10-40 minute lag for the people 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
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
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.
I mean, actually the most terrifying thing we could find on Mars would be a congratulations screen saying we’ve finished the demo content.
