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.

Looks like the next SpaceX Starship launch  could be early as June 1.

Starship is like playing with model tickets, but at $100 million a launch.  Kinda awesome, really.  Was interesting to see the development, from Starship exploding in the atmosphere, to finally orbiting around Earth.
