No, if you do the math it's about 40 bytes per second (300bps) for Earth-Moon-Earth using their 240-antenna array.

Care to share the math, if you've done it?
It's 1.3 to 1.6 seconds each way to the moon, by radio link.
JPL's much, much, much bigger arrays can only achieve 64kbps.
I dont get it, How does latency affect bandwidth here?
Because we're not stationary, and nor is the moon. Latency means greater dispersion, and lower successful return rates.
