In your article, you say:

It would be a planetary scientist's dream to peer through the eyes of a distant rover’s lenses in real-time, looking around an alien landscape as if she were actually on the planet's surface, but current radio transmitters can’t handle the bandwidth necessary for a video feed across several million miles. New technology recently patented by scientists at the University of Rochester, however, may make applications like a Mars video feed possible...

I think that she should take some basic physics classes; she will discover that even at Mars' closest approach to Earth, for instance, there will be a delay of three minutes or so, because lasers aren't going to cover that distance any faster than radio waves. This is not a bandwidth problem, it's a distance problem.

Now if she would get to work on <a href=

don't use a href tags for hyperlinks, just write an address

Yes, if the intention was low-latency real time, that may be correct, however I don't think that "real-time" in this context means instantaneous transmission - I think it refers to the fact that the number of bits for a single image takes so long to transmit that an actual video could not be generated from the feed - it's a question of bandwidth, not latency.

No it's a latency problem you have.

Planets in real-time sim, known through provided datas given to datas resource polls?

Yes, was there any doubt?

and there was me thinking that light had no mass and couldnt affect the density of anything....
