That would be true if radio waves traveled at the speed of light.

EM radiation travels at the speed of light in a vacuum you silly goose.

Sure, in a theoretical vacuum.

"Space" is not a perfect vacuum. If the signals were transmitted from space, this would be nearly true, but there is quite a bit of interference between earth and "space," causing that signal to slow down quite a bit before it gets to that near-vacuum point.

Or did I miss that day in physics?
