Nice to read NASA reestablished contact with Voyager 1 this week. A radio signal takes about 22 ½ hours to reach the craft, which is over 24 billion kilometers from Earth. According to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, all radio-wavelength transmissions are broadcast into space. That means my CITI-FM shows are making their way across the universe, hopefully remaining undetected by alien intelligence.
