I have not watched the 2 hour video someone posted but I remember watching another one that was very informative a few years back. If I remember well, the communication takes about 20 days to get to us from Voyager and the power ouput of the onboard dish is about 20 watts. LOL The fact that we, humans, can actually communicate with something we built that far away is pretty incredible.


Also, if I remembe well, sometime in the next 10 years or so, the reactor will run out and ther wont be enough power left onboard for us to make contact or for it to make contact with us.

need to do another one using modern tech. It'll be smaller, faster, more durable, and have better communication.


More like it’ll need a new iOS update before it even passes the moon.

And someone at nasa will have to keep closing the ads so they can see all the telemetry.
