22.5 light HOURS. Imagine pressing a button on your old desktop calculator and waiting 2 days for the number to show up.

Not knowing that IF it would indeed show up! Although the benefit here is that after the 45 hours they would know if it's ever coming back, as opposed to having to keep waiting.
