    Yea I always love that they had a realistic light delay. Even in the show it is that way, and each call has an indicator for what the delay is based on how far away the person you’re talking to is.

      Stargate was surprisingly good with this: there’s an episode where two members of team SG1 get stuck on a test flight gone wrong, and as they’re drifting past Jupiter the radio messages from home base start having timestamps attached to the end, as they’re a significant fraction of a light hour away already.
