Reading this article on CNN today about the Mars Rovers' continued exploration of the surface of Mars, it occurs to me that soon, we may have an excellent answer to the outsourcing question.

Want low overhead, a not-very-penetrated labor market, good weather (excellent for disaster recovery) and little competition from other call centers? Why not try Mars, the perfect answer for off-world outsourcing?

Of course, the commute could be a little problematic, but thats's the only drawback I see.
