- karmakurtisaani 3y agoYeah, but how many football fields for us common people?!
- giantrobot 3y agoMetric or freedom football?
- karmakurtisaani 3y agoYes.
- hef19898 3y agoSoccer, football? And how much is this in Empire State buildings, depending on the average soze of a giraffe? Either way so, that SW update of Voyager is some seriously impressive stuff!
- BoxOfRain 3y agoRugby football, which went metric some decades ago.
- nashashmi 3y agoHow about earth equator-meter as a unit? or Equatometer?
- bhaak 3y agoI doubt that giraffes are metric. But maybe they are some obscure SI unit? Fun fact. 1 billion km is almost 1.1 light hours. 1 billion miles is almost 1.5 light hours with less error margin. So you can easily calculate that Voyager 2 is about 18 light hours from Earth.
- darkwater 3y agoSo hwo it "just" took 18 hours for the update to complete, according to the article? Shouldn't be at very least 36 hours, given that you need feedback from Voyager?
- bhaak 3y agoIt took 18 hours to transfer the data to the probe. According to the article the update hasn't been activated yet but they are still checking if everything is okay. > NASA scientists are carrying out a readout of the AACS memory to ensure that it is in the right place for the update. If there aren’t any issues, it will trigger the Voyager 2 update on October 28.
