Looking at speed of light as ~300km per millisecond & satellite altitude of ~550km, average photon round-trip time is only ~10ms, so a lot of silly things have to happen to drive ping >20ms.

‍Laser links in orbit can reduce long-distance latency by as much as 50%, due to higher speed of light in vacuum & shorter path than undersea fiber

Here's a side-by-side aerial view of ASOG docking next to JRTI. The generational differences are clear. Also note the two fairing halves and Dragon training capsule to the right. #SpaceXFleet
