Exactly. Have some sort of chain of cyclers that each cycle independently, launched/spaced (hehe) eg. a month apart. As they cycle, only one of them will be closest to Mars, that gets the uplink from Mars, then relay the data to the cycler behind it, that relays to the one behind etc etc until we reach the cycler that is closest to Earth, in mere minutes. Can have laser links between them even maybe. Lets call it PlanetLink :-)
