> Voyager 1 is currently the farthest spacecraft from Earth Voyager 1 is the farthest man-made object from Earth.
I wonder if we will ever pass Voyager 1. Might be the farthest for a long time.
Voyager 1 is so far away that it takes 22.5 hours for commands sent from Earth to reach the spacecraft. Additionally, the team must wait 45 hours to receive a response. I’m guessing “hotfix” commits don’t exist in this domain
This is an absolutely terrible headline. Voyager is communicating with Earth, full stop. The data from it's scientific instruments is coming back in a fixed, repeating pattern, meaning we aren't getting anything meaningful from it, but it is absolutely still communicating with Earth.
It’s sending nothing useful.

...which do a swing by the sun to get up to 22 AU/year.

No, it’s an accurate headline for the general population. It’s sending nothing useful.

I guess it is nitpicking, but I hate the word choice they’ve selected there. The “additionally” makes it look like the 22.5 and 45 hour problems are two different things, instead of the natural result of a round trip.
