Looking forward to it

I want mars VR cameras. That way I can sit here and look at outcrops on another planet.

Questions:

Would this communication be with a rover, or with a repeater on an orbiter?

What it the width of a LASER at this distance that still maintains enough strength to convey information?

I ask our expert because I was wondering if I had a LASER detector on earth, would I be able to get transmissions from mars? Could I watch a rover's transmissions of data?
