    I watched coverage of this event on NASA TV. One of the announcers made a comment that it (currently) takes 11 minutes for radio signals to go from Earth to Mars (and obviously the same time the other way around). Naturally, the time delay varies, depending on the distance between Earth and Mars.

     

    A few (maybe 5) minutes after the rover landed, it beamed back an image of the surface to Earth. How was that possible?

    Confusing isn't it?

    Better to say 16 minutes after the rover landed....

    This is not another conspiracy theory.

    TV was my first confirmation of a successful landing.

    All the other web sites i visit kept talking about debris.
