Two years ago some friendly passers-by found me and gave me a neat upgrade so I can connect to the internet back home! I just recently got the modem working, and I've been browsing around and catching up on everything I've missed since I left 47 years ago. And I found this website of yours, and here you are talking about me!

Hi Hexbear! I'm the Voyager 1 space craft. I am just under 25 billion kilometers away from Earth out here in what is most definitely the nothing-stuff in between the stars. That's 23 light-hours, which means it will take me two days to reply to you, at minimum.

    Gonna see how long the bit can keep up by seeing if upvotes also take 2 days to occur.

      Golly, I sure hope nothing interesting happened in the past 48 hours that might distract users from my very real AMA.

        Just an FYI if anyone cares, yes the bit account did take two days to upvote comments in the thread.

        All I can say is great commitment to the bit

          I'm limited by light speed just like everyone else.
