    The time/light delay between Earth and Mars is anywhere between four minutes and 25 minutes one way, and then there's weeks where communication between the two planets is all but impossible because the sun's in the way. NASA programs the Mars robots' whole day, every action, well in advance. To just plug in to a VR system to 1:1 control a Mars robot you'd pretty much need to be on Mars anyway, or in Mars orbit at least.
