really? ive been told that so many times ive lost count

They look like a satalites <:lul:484994724118134784>

cute

I mean if you really doubt you can travel to a location where the iss will orbit over and take your telescope and search for it but No one could be bothered to I guess

At least here

I’ve done it myself because I love astronomy as part of my middle school learning

so, in addition to that, the time lag between the moon was less than the time lag from the iss, if i remember correctly

Iss is a traveling satalites that orbits earth in 90 minutes

It’s much harder to track then a stationary target on the moon

That orbits in 24 hours

that means nothing in this

Radio waves travel extremely fast, light speed so the lag is milliseconds in travel time

It does

Lol

it doesnt create time delay

It actually does though

cool story

<:QOTD:618667344406904832>

a closer communicating device has greater time lag than a much more distant one

from much older tech

It has more independent variables

And the distance doesn’t mean a lot for something that travels near the speed of light

yes it does, obviously

Maybe a few Milliseconds

try science

You don’t know what you are talking about

projection

Tech has nothing to do with the speed of light

Radio waves don’t change speed with tech

those communications dont travel at the speed of light if i remember correctly

besides, the speed of light varies

light at one frequency will travel slower than higher frequencies of light

Yes but the variable doesn’t matter when the magnitude is that great in our scenerio the moon isn’t far enough away for it to affect it much

yes it would be

It’s nearly 300 million meters a second,

faster communication from the moon than iss, supposedly due to how fast a craft is moving. check

The moon is 300k miles, it’s not far enough away

For a huge difference and yes

i disbelieve you

NASA talks about how much math goes into communicating with the iss and even gives equitation with the math

red herring
