More than a full day. It would take the signal about 18.5 hrs to get to Voyager. We'd then have to wait another 18.5 hrs for the signal to get back so we could know if it worked.
Imagine driving 18 light hours. 😬 How long would that even take??
At 70 mph, that would take 172,444,276 hrs. That's about 19,635 years non-stop.
