VIDEOS AT LINK......................
Because they’re really in Laughlin...
When I do my math on signal delays I come up way off from what the ‘pros’ at nasa say ...
Nasa was saying it was like 3 hours to see what happens.
My math ...
Earth to sun 93,000,000 miles, 8 minutes for light.
At closest Earth to Mars 40,000,000 miles, 3.5 minutes
At opposition Mars can only be 93+93+40 away from us so 226,000,000 mi.
So 8 mins+ 8 mins + 3.5 mins >> 19.5 mins
Minimum to Mars from Earth is 3.5 minutes and Maximum is just under 20 minutes.
AM I WRONG ?
There’s also a bandwidth limitation due to the weakness of the signal. The video imagery was recorded locally (i.e. on Mars) creating large files that then get transmitted back to Earth on a low bandwidth connection. I suspect it’s the slow download that takes 3 hours, and that’s for low-quality, decimated versions of the imagery. It wouldn’t surprise me if the full resolution, full frame rate imagery files take several days to download. There may also be a review process included in that 3 hours.
The MS Win 10 update kicked in and cost them 5 hours!!
Your math seems right, but I’m not sure whatever is being transmitted from Mars is traveling at the speed of light.
words fail!!! you win the dumbest comment of the day
I’m always up for a challenge.
Let’s see.....
My favorite color is apple.
Is it “LIVE” or is it “MEMOREX”?
