540000 ping from mars at the best of times.
ouch.
Though, anyone who had to deal with the realy slow dialup could probably deal with the moon and its ping time of "only" 2000.

Well, what about a washing machine? ISS doesn't have a washing machine!

The martians need subspace/FTL radio communications ;)

@Buttmunch5000 it's still 6 minutes. Anyway, you could put a proxy on the moon that would cache the accessed data, so repeated access of the same data will result in much faster load.
Anyway, on the earth we have fiber optic, light is used to transfer the data. Maybe we could use beam of light to send data through vacuum of space. At the speed of light, 1.5 seconds is needed for the light to arrive from earth to the moon, that's much better ;)

It affects us today in our drive planning for the Mars Exploration Rovers.

space fairing civilization = Internet in space? LOL!
ralpher05 2 years ago
@ralpher05 Among many other things, yes. Just putting people on another planet for flags and footprints does not make us a space civilization. If we truly want to live and work across the galaxy, then we'll need to learn to communicate across said galaxy too. The Internet is part of that as it is a communications vehicle.

Why don't we add Satlelight relay to power up and send it on its way like Hub in space between Moon or Mars.
Drsharky43 2 years ago
@Drsharky43 The issue isn't relay stations but rather the speed of light limitations, which is where the 6 minute figure comes in... And even that is a best case scenario. It gets worse from there based on where Mars is in relation to Earth.
