Perseverance is one of the largest objects that NASA landed (along with the Apollo lander), and it's about the size of an SUV.
SpaceX is trying to land things the size of buildings.
Let's just say it's a very different problem.

If you though there is someone in Boca Chica flying Starship remotely with joystick and steady hand, I'm afraid I need to disappoint you.
- Daho0n 6y agoThat wasn't the point but this is Reddit level snarky commenting so I'll be on my way.
- PeterisP 6y agoNeither Perseverence or SpaceX landings involve latency for control commands, they are automated/preprogrammed in the vehicle and do not rely on real-time commands from the ground.
- Daho0n 6y agoNo one have said otherwise. The point still stands that landing on earth is not in the same universe as landing on Mars. Comparing is stupid.
