Mars is so far away in fact that it takes radio signals quite a long time to get from the spacecraft back to Earth. During Curiosity EDL, this delay will be 13 minutes, 48 seconds, about mid-way between the minimum delay of around 4 minutes and the maximum of around 24 minutes.
(around 3 times the speed of light) At the current state of space technology, it will take at least 150 days to get to Mars. The current timeline for a manned mission to Mars is the 2030s. ..428,000 pixels away.
