Man, sure glad they calculated that out

yet from billions of miles away it can send data
And how long does it take for that data to get back to earth?

How does a machine know its location in space?
Hell, how does anyone?

Remember, this is NASA we’re talking about. They think of everything.
If they are so smart why do they show nine planets?! Aliens will never find us now!

How long does it take these signals to reach Earth?

About 22 hours

It’s using plutonium-238, which has a half life of 87 years. It has the needed power source to keep putting out data, just depends on if we can keep grabbing the signal.

It blew my mind when I got into space HISTORY and learned we left a mirror on the moon that we can still use a laser to measure distance. I lost my basic interest in space after the 1st lens correction mission to Hubble. I was in awe that first go around over the crude video sent back from the outer planets. I started my "responsible adult" life in Florida so that sparked an interest in the basic stuff again. I can still remember my department piling into the conference room and watching the Columbia contrails on STS-107. Then waking up early for the double sonic booms that never came 2 weeks later. The fact that we've failed with so much technology from the 70s-today while this 60s knowledge based spacecraft is still going 45 years later is amazing.

So this damn thing is over 10 billion miles past Pluto. Wow.
