"How are we going to get to the Moon if we can't talk between two buildings?"

How are we going to get to Mars if we can't get a video feed feed back from a barge parked just 600 miles off shore?

Hint: A 2nd smaller barge, stable for satellite feed since rockets aren't landing on it, with a ~1km fiber optic cable from one to the other. Easy.
