  • @terry4144 -- That's still not "minutes."

    There are two different kinds of delays:

    (1) Delays because of distance. Just divide the distance by the speed of light ( about 186,000 miles per second.)

    (2) Delays in the system due to the signal going through relays & various equipment. Modern digital equipment might even have more of a system delay than the simple analog connections of the 60's. And without knowing the specific equipment, you can't tell how much the delay "should" be.

  • @nesokretep well thats strange then because when I watch the news and the news reader asks a question to a reporter on site there is a pause of at least 3 seconds before they hear them and thats on earth!

  • @terry4144 -- "it would have taken minutes"??

    Could you tell me ... I actually am really curious: Why do people (like you) just make up stuff and say it without doing any research or even thinking about it?

    Look up the speed of light. Look up the distance to the moon. And do a simple division.

    For a radio wave, the moon is 1.3 seconds away from Earth. 3 seconds would include delays in the relays on Earth.

  • @nesokretep only 2 to 3 seconds it would have taken minutes a normal live news broadcast takes about 3 seconds and thats on earth

  • ズボンの生地が、極端に薄いですね。

    太陽を浴びてますが、本当の月面なら焼死してるでしょうね。

    

  • @nesokretep thank you

  • @mcRioRemedy -- For Apollo 15, 16 & 17 they mounted the video camera on the lunar rover and with a radio link back to Houston, they controlled it by remote control. It was pretty cool to have the astronauts able to be independent and do their thing and have the camera follow their movements. But the camera sometimes got a little behind in following them because there is about a 2 to 3 second delay in the system because of the distance to the moon.

  • like a puppet on a string

  • who films all these? i thought it was only two astronauts per landing with the 3rd in the command module orbiting the moon

  • @gyrolabs That's the antenna lol. Check it out in the other videos or pictures of the suits.
