[quote:Anonymous Coward 22608665:MV8xOTcxOTY2XzMzMTA2MjY0X0ExRjg2RjQ0] There should not be a consistent time delay between every response, as the conversation is being recorded at one end -Mission Control. Responses from Mission Control could be heard without any delay, as the recording is being made at the same time that Houston receives the transmission from the Moon. :pphtt: [/quote]
Original Message
Moon is 238,900 miles from earth, the radio communication between Moon and Earth should take at least 2.4 seconds delay for each communication to take place, because radio wave travel at speed of light which is 186,000 miles per second.
I listen to all Apollo 11 communication footages, over and over, and could not find any delays in their communication.
Anybody knows why?
