Voyager 1 is sending data for the first time in 5 months

For the first time in five months, NASA engineers have received decipherable data from Voyager 1 after crafting a creative solution to fix a communication problem aboard humanity's most distant spacecraft in the cosmos. Voyager 1 is currently about 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) away, and at 46 years old, the probe has shown multiple quirks and signs of aging in recent years.

Thanks for ending humanity.

Thanks for ending humanity.

On the trajectory we are on, humanity deserves to die.

This is cool though. The conditions this unit is operating in is as inhospitable as can be and yet it still marches on exploring the universe. It is a testament to the engineering and design that they have lasted this long.

One would think in 46 years we'd launch a replacement... nah, let's make bombs!

You'll get over it.

And to the latter, affirmative.

How much further we could have gone should our energy needs not have been exploited to this point of ecological collapse and global hardship.

Imagine if that was part of this Voyager equation and how much more of our solar system could have been explored and the oil wars never happen.
