Sound travels at about 4-5 seconds per mile, depending on conditions. Math checks out, a rare OT feat.

They weren't yelling into two cups with a long string.
The conversation was being transmitted at the speed of light and converted to sound at two receivers.

Light takes 2 seconds to reach the earth from the lunar surface, as it travels 299,000,000 m/s. Radio waves travel along that same band. There should have been a 2s delay in comms, unless technology exists on this earth that the 1960s US president wasn't even privy to know.

Speed of light > speed of sound.
