TL;DR: it means it will take 24 hours for radio messages to reach Voyager 1.
The voyager series are my favorite space craft. I wish we had more deep space missions nowadays.
- I wish space was not infested by libertarians
  
  I have no problem with libertarians (as in libertarian socialists the original meaning of that word).
  I have a problem with whatever happened in the US when a bunch of capitalists took the word “Libertarian” to mean “Controlled by 5 rich corpos and lets legalise sex trafficking”, and everyone just went along with that word change.
- Do New Horizons, JUICE, Psyche, and Europa Clipper scratch that itch?
