Voyager 1 Once Again Returning Science Data From All Four Instruments

People will believe anything lol

That's far out!

I'm constantly amazed at the longevity of this probe, so awesome!

It's like the Jason Vorhees of spacecraft

V'ger has evolved

Anyone ever sometimes think, that there's an alien species that kinda feels a little paternal towards us and keeps fixing out Tonka Toys because it makes us happy?

Provided we engineer them well, this is good news for truly deep space operations. Cosmic radiation and interplanetary gasses could (and probably do) wreak havoc on various materials, but apparently technology from the 70s is capable of handling it very long term.

Now if we could just get out of these squishy meat suits we'd be in business.

I try to diagnose the carburetor in my 50 year old Jeep sitting right in front of me, and I still can't get it running right.

These people are amazing, and the people that built that so it can still be fixed out in the Oort Cloud were even better.

What's the baud rate and have they needed to adjust it over time?

Absolute Chad.

this detecation is impressive.

Just curious: is the data of value for research or is it more like "look at us, we can repair from a distance"?
