Voice messages between Earth and Mars, delivered at the speed of light, and not a second sooner. Right now that's about 14 minutes across 247 million km.
Earth and Mars drift between 55 and 401 million km apart on a 26-month cycle. Every number here comes from JPL orbital elements, recalculated in your browser.
It works like any voice note, except the network is the solar system and the latency is set by physics.
Hold to talk. Your audio is compressed and queued for the next relay pass.
It crosses 247 million km of vacuum at light speed. That takes about 14 minutes.
The Deep Space Network catches it and your recipient gets a notification.
They listen and answer. The clock starts again in the other direction.
Every message has a live position. You can see how far it has gone, how far is left, and the minute it lands.
"Houston, this is Mars Base Alpha. We've found something in the delta deposits you'll want to hear about…"
The demo comes with two accounts already set up. Pick a side, record something and wait the real delay for it to arrive.
"Mission update from Jezero Crater. We've made an incredible discovery…"
"Standing by for your update. All systems nominal on our end…"
Delays come from JPL Keplerian elements, not a lookup table.
Audio messages, because across that distance a voice beats text.
Follow every message from the moment it leaves until it lands.
Runs in the browser on any device.
Messages are encrypted for the whole trip.
