As a child of the 70s, the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 probes have been a part of my earliest understanding of space and our exploration of it. I learned about them (multiple times) in school, and was excited (spoiler alert) years later with how central the fictional Voyager 6 was to the plot of the first Trek movie.
Every single time I have read that they are still sending data back I’m excited to hear it, though from what Wikipedia says there is really no likelihood either will be doing so later than 2025/2026 respectively.
This headline gave me a little “oh no” moment until I read the article. 😀
Oh, damn. Those aliens have caught our satelite, don’t we have our address on the golden plate thing? Awesome how far it has gotten though!
What would we do if a meteor crashes we a copy of the golden plate ?
git revert HEAD git reset —hard git checkout main —force
😢
You have to appreciate the resilience of the design, though, it says the probe has an automatic reset every few months so it will hopefully recover in October when the next reset occurs
