It takes 15 minutes for messages to get from Mars to Earth.
Mars is (on average) 45 000 000 miles from Earth;
the speed of light is 186,000 miles a second;
it would therefore take approximately 240 seconds for a message to get
from Mars to Earth;
240 seconds is 4 minutes;
From where did you get your figure of 15 minutes ?
