There’s also the issue that around once a year the two planets will be on opposite sides of the sun. Not only would you have a lag of close to 3 hours, but communication would be completely impossible for a month or so at a time.

Yes, but the two-and-a-half hour lag each way would be a killer.

You could check out FolderFort. Sometimes they have lifetime pricing. I paid something like $170 for 3TB lifetime.

They have SFTP access in beta.

There’s no chance that I would travel to Qatar or Russia, but living in Canada there’s a good chance I would have traveled to the US (I’ve probably gone there between 5 and 10 times in my life).

Now there is little chance that I will visit the US in the foreseeable future.

As a Canadian, there is a small but nonzero chance that I would go to an event in the US, in normal times. These are not normal times, and I will not set foot in the country.

That is the difference between Qatar, Russia, and the US.

Oh, I’m definitely going to rely on an article in the Hindustan Times.
