I’m glad to know that in 15,000 years Voyager will be able to watch football with us and its siblings
JUICE launched earlier this year, so we should also have some brash uncouth commentary alongside Pioneer 9 and 10 :)
The progress bar must go so slow.
At least it isn’t just a spinning wheel, that’d be torture.
The prograss bar probably has a binary counter because else you wouldnt see the progress :p
I wonder how much redundancy was integreted into the transmission.
They had CRC back then, so at least something rudimentary must be in place.
I work in IT but understood little of that. Thanks for sharing though.
ETA: heck, you can’t see comments in reader view. I was lost until opening in safari.
What a wild coincidence, I was just wondering a couple of days ago if Voyager was so far away that we could no longer talk to it and could only listen, or if it was still close enough to talk to. Neat video, thanks for sharing!
We’ve got more powerful transmitters here than it has on board, so I would think we would lose its transmissions before it would lose ours. But we also have better receivers, so who knows.
Maybe they could send another probe to relay the transmissions once it’s out of range.
And maybe they could send another probe to relay the transmission once it’s out of range!
I think you are onto something.

Meanwhile my GoPro Hero 7 Black remains with the same 2018 firmware which prevents me from using it natively as a webcam.
Omg I want to use mine for that too. Such crap! I’m going to just buy a web cam at some point
I’m amazed how far it can reach. Makes me wonder if Earth would be hard to find for some advanced aliens because it must be like a loud party in the neighbourhood
Voyager 2 is 19 light hours away. Proxima Centauri (closest star which isn’t the Sun) is 4.2 light years away.
15.000 years from now on and aliens will also receive this software update for Voyager. And maybe they will think of us as we think of Internet Explorer nowadays
The sysadmin must have been sweating and hoping that he wouldn’t have to press the reset button on site.
That’s would be one long commute to the job site. Likely only a one way trip. I guess if cryostasis every becomes viable for human space flight, you’d have a better chance living long enough to catch up to the craft, but then you’d probably have the hassle of getting reassigned to a new office team, given all your old colleagues would have long retired, and who would really want to start patching hardware in production with a support crew you only just met after waking up. Sounds like a tough remote working environment, with all the cons in a aynchronous workplace, but with none of the perk in working from home.
Oh. The spaceship. Not the Lemmy browsing app…

That was a really interesting video. Didn’t know about this channel Thanks for sharing
