TL;DR: it means it will take 24 hours for radio messages to reach Voyager 1.

The voyager series are my favorite space craft. I wish we had more deep space missions nowadays.
I wish space was not infested by libertarians
I have no problem with libertarians (as in libertarian socialists the original meaning of that word).
I have a problem with whatever happened in the US when a bunch of capitalists took the word “Libertarian” to mean “Controlled by 5 rich corpos and lets legalise sex trafficking”, and everyone just went along with that word change.
Being from Tx the second bit is what I grew up understanding libertarian to be and had in mind when I wrote the common. Bit of a force of habit I've been slowly changing; apologies for the slip up.
Nah your not slipping up. Thats what libertarian means in the US.
I just think we should reclaim the word.
Do New Horizons, JUICE, Psyche, and Europa Clipper scratch that itch?
