So why is streaming that speed across 400,000 kilometers of space such a major breakthrough?

So we'll look at two examples.

We'll get robot missions first.

It makes efficient teleoperation, that's remote control, much easier and probably faster.

So back in the early 70s, the Soviet Union showed it was possible to teleoperate rovers on the moon with their lunapod.

But it was very limited by slow communications.

They got a picture down every 20 seconds and the crew operating the rover had to drive across the lunar terrain with these slowly arriving pictures.

Dr. Clark, so what does the two-way communication actually change? Why is being able to send instructions back to the moon so important beyond simply receiving data faster?

So first of all, let's go to you, John, because you're going to tell us all about what's happening in Ceuta.

Yeah.

Hi, Caroline.

Hi.

Yeah, I'm actually waiting in the queue to get on a ferry right now to go back.

I had I went all day yesterday with the Daily Mail helping them going round and trying to explore what's really happening because so many mixed messages going on about what happens.

And I can tell you, it is absolutely extraordinary.

food and water? Is there any aid? Are they getting any food and water and stuff?
