Because planet very way too much and even a given planet will have a wide
range of much greater than one our RTTs. TCP probably won't even work for
those kids of RTTs. What about a Lunar RTT instead of Interplanetary? The
moon is about 1.3 light seconds away, one way. That's a minimum of 2.6sec
RTT.
