>It currently takes 90 minutes to transmit high-resolution images from Mars, but NASA would like to dramatically reduce that time to just minutes. A new optical communications system that NASA plans to demonstrate in 2016 will lead the way and even allow the streaming of high-definition video from distances beyond the Moon.

About fuckin' time. Now I can download high definition Mars wallpapers in REAL TIME. Well, give or take lightspeed delay.

I'm probably just projecting my luck, shit like that would happen to me constantly.
