Because Voyager 1 is so far from Earth, it takes almost 23 hours for a command to reach it at the speed of light, and the same for a response to reach us back, for a total of close to 50 hours.

Which means that interactions with Voyager 1, currently around 15 billion miles away, are still faster than many Microsoft Windows updates.

The best we can hope for is Windows never being the core OS in a spacecraft.

@the_Effekt @lauren but why not? Surely your new Copilot can land your spacecraft better than Clippy ever could...

@lauren I imagine Voyager 1 can *choose* whether or not to get Windows updates. "Sorry, can't hear you, I'm not in your Solar System right now, try again later, bye."

@lauren A few years ago Windows Update got a great new feature where it could download the updates overnight and reboot in the morning.

And then wait for you to get to your computer before it did the really slow part of actually applying the update.

Checks out. Microsoft thinking that recall is a good idea is farther away from reality than voyager 1 from earth. That’s why the update is slower.
