No Delay in Communication Between Astronauts and Mission Control

Communicating Faster Than the Speed of Light

If you watch the Apollo videos NASA doesn't even put an appropriate delay between the astronauts in the LEM and mission control to account for the moon's distance. The astronauts and Huston are communicating faster than the speed of light.

    "The Moon is 350-400,000km away from Earth, that is 1.25-1.4 Light Seconds. 
    Yet the Communications Between Earth & The "Moon" have no Perceivable Delay. 
    If they were really on the Moon there would have been a delay of 2.5-2.8 
    seconds between Ground Control and the Astronauts on the Surface of the Moon."

Apparently NASA astronauts are trained in the art of talking over other people. They know exactly what ground control is going to say, as they rehearsed so many times!!


Allegations of clip editing

This person from the comments says that the videos were edited:

    You have simply found edited video/audio. Apollo video and audio has been copies 
    perhaps more than any events in history. It is very often edited for time, so the 
    edited versions don't reflect the delays correctly. However, the delays WERE heard 
    in the original broadcasts (as I and millions others can attest). You can find more 
    dependable, unedited audio. Go to the "Lunar Surface Journal" website. What you've 
    discovered is hardly 100% proof of anything.

But if you go to the Lunar Surface Journal website we see the same no-delay videos: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/video11.html#Lan

See the 15 minute video for instance. It's the third video clip down on the page. In many cases the astronauts and mission control are saying "Roger that," "Copy," and responding to eachother's questions almost immediately.

The snippit from the original video "Huston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." "Roger that Tranquility, we copy you on the ground. You have a bunch of guys here about to turn blue. We're breathing again, thanks a lot." occurs at the 15:18 mark and is without delay.
