It looks like the RTT is 6 minutes (more or less depending on orbit) for packets send to mars, but despite that it does seem like the easier option yeah.

- shkkmo 2y agoNot really accurate at all. The lowest the RTT gets is six minutes but that is a brief period every couple of years. The longest RTT is 45 minutes. Even 6 minutes makes any kind of tele-operation infeasible and require system to function autonomously. This restricts the kinds of science that are currently possible.
