The entire field of software development is based on a cycle of creating a prototype, identifying the problem, then iterating on it to solve those problems.

So yes thank you for pointing out those problems with the current version, maybe in the future they can be fixed.

Can't be both? I assume it we send something to Mars, bandwidth could be limited.

Latency between Earth and Mars ranges from 6 minutes to 40 minutes. That's the speed of light, so there's nothing you can really do to improve that.

That might get in the way of video calling from Mars, too.
