I doubt it’s “live.” Even NASA can’t watch it live.

Is it “LIVE” or is it “MEMOREX”?......................

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 ?
