They fixed #voyager
A 50 year old space craft with a 22 hour signal delay.
seems the problem with #Voyager1 was just a broken connection. easily fixed from 15 Billion miles away when you have a warp drive
not sure what took them so long
#Voyager1 is sending instrument data again! 22 light hours away

@Kinnison I had to check. It's much too far from the sun to rely on solar panels. The two Voyager spacecraft are powered by radioisotope thermoelectric generators. The source of heat is plutonium.
yep. and since it has been on mission for so long it is producing less than 50% power from when it started, forcing them to shut down all but 4 instruments!
