“I think he was an old black man in Florida, you might search the internet.”

That’s the one I’m thinking of. I remember he was black and smoking a cigar or pipe. I tried a quick search and didn’t find anything.

Average cell phones operate at .4375W. Less than a half of a watt.

It’s not using any propulsion at this point except maneuvering.

I know it’s more complicated than this before every one jumps on me, but the comparison is a digital camera, and radio transmitter. Remember the signal has no resistance in space.

So that’s why they called it Pluto.

Me too. Sometimes I think about buying a few episodes from Amazon, but I don’t, given the cost vs how many times I’d watch them.

It’s generally advisable to do a bit of research before you post something.

It may be advisable, but in reality it is rarely practiced.

The probe has a power supply of around 200 watts. Its radio transmitter puts out about 10 watts.

OK.

Finally the signal is received on Earth by a network of radio telescopes called the NASA Deep Space Network.

I am sure you are correct. Forgive me speculating to answer the other poster's question, and being off.
