The Earth-Mars delay is between 4 and 24 minutes depending on the distance.

Dont laser beams travel at the same speed as radio waves? How can they have instant communications?

Nudge me when NASA manages laser propulsion like the Moties used in Niven and Pournelle’s The Mote in God’s Eye. Excellent first contact science fiction by two of the best.

Laser technology in space has come a long way!

The following Google Search (AI Overview) includes the following:

Laser technology in space has advanced significantly, enabling higher-speed data communication for deep-space missions, precise lunar tracking, and even the detection of climate change. NASA's Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment, which uses lasers to send and receive data over vast distances, offers 10-100 times faster speeds than radio waves, paving the way for future streaming video calls from Mars.

may open the door to a future where humans on Mars send back livestreams in real time....

What? They're claiming communications at faster than the speed of light? Call me skeptical.
