As the RTT to Mars is a minimum of 500 seconds and a maximum of 2500,
and a minimum of 276 seconds for Venus, your software must already be
successfully dealing with TCP connection timeouts less than the RTT to
the planets nearest to Earth, so there should be no need to maintain 3
minutes anyway :)
