Deep Space Station 43 calling; do you accept the call?

Featured Replies

Voyager 2 just received a call from Deep Space Station 43 on Earth which is 11,677 million miles from it. It`s even farther if you calculate it in km (18,8 million km) Oh, the phone bill next month... Deep ain`t much of a talker. This was just a test.

And the message sent read:  "Whasuuuuuup!"

Remember "Reach out and touch someone"? Good thing we're in the modern era. Back in the "good old days" of 50 years ago that call based on the distance and average flat-rate cost/minute that call would have cost USD$8,371,000 🙂.....Doug

I have that on a t-shirt, but it also has a picture of a belt-fed .50 cal on a tripod mount... :biggrin:

Sounds like the lamentation of an average internet troll :wink:
