Often it takes 24 hours for posters to respond to my posts. I feel very distant in these cases.

I am a few years older than Voyager. I have several failing subsystems too.

Dumb question, but how exactly is a message sent and received to an object 16 billion miles away?

It takes about a day to get there and a day for a reply.

And you'd better know exactly where the object is and it better have it's antenna pointed right at you.

Sound waves or light waves?

Tidal

State the velocity in furlongs per fortnight.

I had this pegged as a Claude! quality post. You've upped your game.

Being in TexAgs jail changes a man……..no, not really

As all of us physics majors memorized, light travels at 582,750,000 knots per hour.

Furlongs per fortnight?

Light years per nanosecond?
