Voyager 1 contact restored

That is truly amazing.
I was hoping they would say in this article what they did to fix it!
They just kept wiggling the coat hanger until the signal cleared up
It was much more complicated than that.
They also had to wrap half a roll of tin foil around the antennas.
Very cool, especially that the expertise still exists within NASA to understand and debug almost 50 year old code from a now ancient seeming architecture. They are probably training their people assigned to the Voyager mission in these things.
They should hire people who are still making homebrew games for old consoles.
Fkn dope
Was thinking that it might come to be that we lose the ability before Vger does.

Amazing. Sad That the 47000 curios of plutonio 238 in the RTG will be depleted by 2025 :(
this is just plain ol’ awesome
This is GREAT news.
Well alright, but if memory serves, it’s Voyager 6 we have to be worried about.
What’s up with Voyager 6?
I should have known it was star trek lmao
I’m now sad to learn we only did Voyager 1 & 2.:(
Lessons from the future were clearly learned.
Only so far, there’s still time.
Thank the whales!
