MarsTalk
iOS Universel / Education
A realistic simulated interplanetary chat between Earth and Mars. Watch your messages take anything from 3 to 22 minutes to reach the other side of the solar system. Remember the days of watching Windows 3.1 install from floppy disks? This is kind of how it feels to chat to people on Mars :-)
MarsTalk puts you on Earth and all your friend(s) on Mars. In the very near future (as soon as 2024* or shortly thereafter) humans will be visiting and establishing a base on Mars for the first time in history. The only problem is...Mars is far away and voice and video calls will not be possible. The good news is chat will be possible but your messages (traveling at the speed of light) will take anything from 3-22 minutes to reach depending on where Earth and Mars are at that given time.
With MarsTalk you can send text (emoji too), voice, and video messages. It's a simulation of the very soon to be future of interplanetary human endeavor.
Chatting to our family and friends on Mars is a bit like chatting in slow motion but its fun and it teaches us patience and a bit of Zen along the way. It also makes us value how big the universe is!
