The idea that "we" have a transmitter on Mars notwithstanding, Jupiter

Not we but you.

No, not at all. The problem with all the folks who have these strange
desires to debunk basic physics is this:

Things are connected.

When people come up with theorys/conspiracies or whatever that
sopmething we thought we knew is so completely wrong, it is a mark of
thier ignorance that they don't realize that there is more than one
thing negated if they are correct. Want a different speed of radio
compared to light - or rather I should say faster than C ? Better be
prepared to abandon most of what we already know.

So in the end, we're left with either a remarkable ignorance, willful
stupidity, a creationist agenda, or else that ever loving fun
interactive game of arguing with the computer.
