Latency to/from Mars is about 20 minutes.AntennaGuy wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2024 5:07 pm No. I might reconsider if it came with Martian gravity. And... if I was younger. And single. Oh, and... if I could look out the window and see the surface of Mars, rather than Houston. So yeah, that's gonna be a tall order. BTW, will these folks get free high speed internet? Any latency issues?
