The space agency is listening for any peep of the probe, which has been exploring space since 1977.

    You have to appreciate the resilience of the design, though, it says the probe has an automatic reset every few months so it will hopefully recover in October when the next reset occurs

    As a child of the 70s, the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 probes have been a part of my earliest understanding of space and our exploration of it. I learned about them (multiple times) in school, and was excited (spoiler alert) years later with how central the fictional Voyager 6 was to the plot of the first Trek movie.

    Every single time I have read that they are still sending data back I’m excited to hear it, though from what Wikipedia says there is really no likelihood either will be doing so later than 2025/2026 respectively.

    This headline gave me a little “oh no” moment until I read the article. 😀
