Actually, all the Starship flights are fully automated, possibly except a very nervous person somewhere with the self-destruct button and binoculars.

If you though there is someone in Boca Chica flying Starship remotely with joystick and steady hand, I'm afraid I need to disappoint you.

That wasn't the point but this is Reddit level snarky commenting so I'll be on my way.

Neither Perseverence or SpaceX landings involve latency for control commands, they are automated/preprogrammed in the vehicle and do not rely on real-time commands from the ground.

No one have said otherwise. The point still stands that landing on earth is not in the same universe as landing on Mars. Comparing is stupid.
