SNIP

A somewhat simpler exercise with latency NOT a problem. I was thinking on
the order of a machine being maneuvered somewhere in Afghanistan by a driver
in Colo Springs. When you consider the distances, even at the speed of
light the satellite relay and delay offer enough time to make the job
difficult. Perhaps with sufficient nintendo skills, that might be overcome.

Apparently they've done/tried to use simulators in Australia vs
simulators in USA (F/A-18) for air combat..

The latency was a problem...

It doesn't matter how good your "nintendo skills" are.. You can't get
information there/back fast enough to do real time combat
