[ After 37 years of inactivity, the NASA spacecraft Voyager 1 fired up its thrusters for the first time in nearly four decades all the way over in interstellar space. ]
It JUST received word that Hillary is not President so it figured it would be safe to chat.

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?

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?

“I think it would take about 20 minutes for the signal to travel that distance.”
13,000,000,000 / 186,000 = ?
To: Lurkina.n.Learnin
I think it would take about 20 minutes for the signal to travel that distance. 19 hours and 35 minutes according to JPL.

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.
