From Earth To Pluto

Last week I mentioned data transmission from Pluto. Julien brought up latency.

According to space.com the distance is:

Pluto lies 4.67 billion miles (7.5 billion kilometers) from Earth. At their closest, the two are only 2.66 billion miles (4.28 billion km) apart.

Even at the speed of light that is some serious latency.
