    I bet it is feeling a bit lonely out there.:cry:
    I wonder how long does it take for a round trip communication with it these days?
    (can we still tell it, "Hey, point your antenna over this way!" )

    About 16.5 hours one-way for a signal to make it from Voyager to Earth. In other words, Voygaer is about 16.5 light-hours away.
