smh NASA's really gotta get an ethernet cable running to that thing

fun fact, that would make the transmission slower.

According to wikipedia cat5 cable has a propagation delay of 5.30 ns/m, which works out to about 62% of the speed of light. While radio waves propagate at the speed of light.

Or we need to move Mars closer to plug it into a 6ft Ethernet.
