Real time is impossible, even with lasers... the distance to mars is so huge, that LIGHT TAKES 7 MINUTES TO TRAVEL FROM EARTH TO MARS. SINCE RADIO SIGNALS TRAVEL AT SPEED OF LIGHT, THEN THERE IS A 14 MINUTE DELAY (7 MINS GOING TO EARTH, 7 MINS GOING TO MARS) IF YOU SAY "MOVE FORWARD" AND THE ROVER MOVES FORWARD, AND 14 MINUTE DELAY POD ANG CAMERA VIEW...SO THE QUESTION IS, MAG MANUAL CONTROL KA'G ING ANI? 14 MINUTES DELAY? UNYA WHAT IF NAAY KANTIL BEH?

Common sense.
