Launching the rover Perseverance which will be coming back to earth with samples. Probably be the best shot so far of finding any microbial life on Mars past or present

Oh wait, it's the rover landing on Mars, not launching! It launched 7 months ago but I think there's footage on the way down!

damn that's crazy. Any "live" images/videos we get from the landing literally happened 22 mins before on Mars due to how far light travels

they'll be inputting landing controls 22 mins in advance.

Niiiiiice I figured something like that would be the case

But wait, doesn't radio wave travel the speed of light? That should only be 6 minutes right? Is it requiring it to bounce back and forth twice?

depends on how the orbits of the two planets line up, it can be as short as 4 minutes and as long as 24.
