    Pretty crazy that it takes over 17 hours just to send a signal all the way to Voyager 2.

      Each way. It would take 34 hours to get confirmation that your signal has been received.

      And Voyager 1 is even further away.

      Relevant XKCD: Tau Ceti is farther away, so it took me 36 years to start the war over updog.
