Exactly. The idea that this craft from the 70's is sending a diffused signal back to Earth across billions and billions of miles is questionable, at best.
Literally billions!
If you think you can conceive of a 1 billion mile distance, then you are probably fooling yourself. The US is only 3000 miles across, for reference.
Does anyone think that a radio from the 70's can send signals as far as 1 million miles??? It takes a giant radio tower (+300 ft) to send radio one way, and it has an upper range of 300 miles.
We can barely see Pluto with as telescope, and we're supposed to believe that Voyager is sending signals back from farther than our telescopes can reasonably even see?!?
Someone has to call bullshit!
Edit:. Adding that Pluto is 5.9 billion miles away from the sun.

It takes about 8 minutes for light to reach Earth and over FIVE hours for the same light beam to reach Pluto,

I can't see you with a telescope so do you exist?!?!
Wait... You're wearing camouflage clothes?

Pluto is 5.9 billion miles away from the sun.
You can't see it with your telescope either. ;-)

I want to see the martians that NASA hides from us while selling cocaine to Australians.
I have a problem though, I am low on budget so I searched for a cheaper telescope, will this work? https://imgur.com/ihVjOMa
