I think it would take about 20 minutes for the signal to travel that distance.

I think it would take about 20 minutes for the signal to travel that distance. 19 hours and 35 minutes according to JPL.

When I was at JPL during the time of Voyager II, the RTL (round-trip light time) from earth to the spacecraft’s location (Saturn) was 45 minutes. Voyager II’s scanning platform got stuck at its closest encounter with the planet. Sending the commands to the spacecraft, waiting for a response (with 45 minute round trip) took days to diagnose and solve the problem.

Correction: almost 20 hours. It’s 1.3 E10, not 1.3 E9.
