“Operations that required more fine handling were performed with a human, by remote control.”

This doesn’t make sense:
* 2.5 seconds radio transit time (round trip to moon and back) is going to make human remote control very hard.
* robot precision is greater then human precision.

But what do I know?

That 2.5 seconds can ruin your whole day—especially if you are a robot or a computer. ;-)

They were able to film this by remote control using the 2.5 second delay. It takes a little practice.

Just slow the human down with pot, problem solved.
