You'll be glad you know ed on that day when you're stuck with nothing but a thin-client teletype terminal on Mars and having to edit a file stored on Earth 24 light-minutes away.

Something like that happened in the book "The Martian" by Andy Weir. I loved that part!

Project Hail Mary needs way more attention!

I'm sure it will get more attention when the movie comes out
