Moon-Earth ping time would something like 2580ms [0]. If anyone remembers the days when phone calls to Australia were via geosynchronous satellite (vs undersea cables), there was maybe ~500ms delay and that was annoying enough, although you got used to it. TBH 2580ms for many applications would be fine (e.g. youtube, netflix, social media, github, chat/slack/teams etc). If you take sci-fi as inspiration (e.g. The Expanse!), we might see less "realtime/two-way" voice/video chat and more one way "vmail" type messaging when RTT is too great for realtime.
