So with Pluto, at approximately 3.3 billion miles from us, Voyager is about 4-1/2 times farther out from Earth than the dwarf. Is there any object closer to 15 billion miles than Pluto?

Was this the one with the Mozart and Beethoven music onboard?

22 hours to get the signal. A tad longer than charging your EV.

"Is there any object closer to 15 billion miles than Pluto?" Yes, including Eris and, I think, four other dwarf planets. This is why Pluto is not considered a planet anymore.
Eris is around twice as far from the sun as Pluto.

How far away is that? Canโt we use miles? From NASA JPL Horizons solar system dynamics:
DATE: October 18, 2024 12:00 GMT
Distance: 15,381,582,895 Miles
Light Time to Earth: 22:56:11 (HH:MM:SS)
Speed wrt to the Sun 10.51 Miles/Second
The speed with respect to the earth is about 27 mi/sec, because of the motion of the earth in its orbit is directed away from the spacecraft this time of year.

Voyager 1 was certainly not made in China.
To: Hatteras
Google give: V774104 currently sits 15.4 billion kilometers from the sun, or 103 astronomical units (AU) away.
15.4 billion km equates to 9.57 billion miles.
