    The latency to Voyager 1 is apparently a bit under 23 hours, so yeah, that’s gonna be painful.

    I’d guess that the jitter is probably zero.

    Like, if they can pull data in realtime, I assume that they’ve chosen an encoding with enough redundancy that data can get through reliably at that rate. Because of the latency, they’d have to have a huge buffer if they wanted to have some protocol that required frequently requesting retransmits.

      You could play chess or other turn based games. Imagine playing Alpha Centauri connected to a space probe… They should integrate this for the next probe.

        As long as they add Doom as well.
