amazing that we can still talk to something that far away at 10pm

me waking up from a nap after being asleep for 9 hours feels the same as this probe waking up after 9 billion kms

Sky Murphy2026-07-17T06:37:50.000Z

lol yeah and when I say I'm tired from a 10 hr sleep everyone mocks me

Rowan Blake2026-07-17T06:21:50.000Z

bloody hell 9.5 billion kms and I can't even get signal in my lounge

Rowan Blake2026-07-17T07:03:50.000Z

Leo McKenzie2026-07-17T06:55:50.000Z

Sky Murphy2026-07-17T06:49:50.000Z

Eva Anderson2026-07-17T07:07:50.000Z

Rowan Blake2026-07-17T07:04:50.000Z

Sky Murphy2026-07-17T07:26:50.000Z

Sophie Ngata2026-07-17T07:14:50.000Z

Leo McKenzie2026-07-17T07:27:50.000Z

yep it's inspiring, these guys manage to reach a rock 9b km away but can't get broadband to half the country

Leo McKenzie2026-07-17T07:39:50.000Z

Eva Anderson2026-07-17T07:37:50.000Z
