The Voyager is 14.6 billion miles away and NASA can talk to it and control it.

I can see the cellular tower light blinking from a distant hilltop and yet can't get a phone signal.

Takes over sixteen hours to receive a signal from Voyager.

About 55 days for communication each direction.

Sorry - bad calculation. 2nd try = about 22 hours.

I love it. I’m literally laughing out loud here.

I have to tell people that my little suburb only allows 12 electrons per day through our tower, so my phone isn’t working well.
