How is that a plot hole?

[Show spoiler] This is all clearly happening in a near future and technology seems more advanced. These pods have that AI assistant and its not a stretch at all that it has some kind of internet connection to make phone calls with.

What else?

Even an Internet connection that worked anywhere on the planet would be a bit of a stretch, but one that still works such a long time after having left the Earth's atmosphere is completely ridiculous. And even some kind of "magical" communication that could reach Earth would take quite some time due to the distance, no way you'd be able to just get into a conversation with quick back-and-forth dialogue.

It's just the laws of physics.

I wasn't bothered by it, but it was a bit funny how the pods launched like 12 years ago but it just happened to be reaching the very edge of where they could get reception the hour she woke up.

Exactly, right?
