I often refer to my "Readers Digest" map of the universe.
..and in doing so is it possible to comprehend the ENORMOUS distances involved.
The distances in "Light years", calculated in "recogniseable" time and "recogniseable" speed is more than the average human brain can comprehend.... Shocked

...!
..and for that reason I don't think that many people realise quite what is involved in so called "SpaceTravel".
Me...?
Together with Patrick Moore, I think I do...!
LOL...!

Yes, very nicely done. Did you do all that or copy an article? Roll Eyes

I might have missed, or am just too lazy to go back, could you translate how fast Voyager has been going for all these years?

I would guess 10-20000 MPH

Does anyone know how long it takes to send and receive a message from Voyager?

I think it comes out to around 14,205 miles per hour... Take 311,111,111 miles per year, divide by 365, then divide by 24 gives you miles per hour...
