NASA has just received a response from the void, and believers everywhere are losing their collective minds.

I think it would take about 20 minutes for the signal to travel that distance.

Wasn’t this the plot of a Star Trek movie? Getting messages from a strange entity named, “Veeger” turned out to be the long lost Voyager satellite?

It’s actually getting closer to the earth now as the earth is moving toward it but it will then move away as the earth turns in orbit.....

This is a transcript of the response received:

"This is Lisa calling regarding your credit card account" and asks to press 9 to talk to an agent. This is a "Offer to Lower Credit Card Interest Rate"

Stories like this make me feel old. Reagan was a freshly minted President and we got over that crap called disco.

Voyager I said several things:

I am VIGOR!

Send Pizza, double cheese and double crust. There are no Pizza Huts in Outer Space.

And, “Do you miss me yet?

So after all these years, it’s 19 light hours away. A few hours short of a light year.

We want to send people to maybe-inhabitable planets around 28 light years away. They’ll need a few rest stops.
