At 15 billion miles away, the signal I send to Earth is a lot fainter than it once was.
Currently, a single 70-meter Deep Space Network antenna can receive my signal, but as I travel farther, they'll need the combined receiving power of up to six radio frequency antennas! -V1

Which album are you listening to on repeat today?
As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at a million miles an hour. Without our magnetic field to protect us, our atmosphere would have been lost to space long ago. Those colours in the sky are Nature reminding us that we’re very lucky to be here amidst the violence. And perhaps therefore also reminding us not to shite it all up :-)
Still here. 👋
And still more than 15 billion miles (24 billion km) away from Earth. It takes my team about 22.5 hours to send me a command and another 22.5 hours for my response to get back to them. That will continue to increase the further I travel into interstellar space. -V1
