Voyager is in deep space. I am not talking about the Voyager from Star Trek, with Captain Janeway and crew. Of course they are in deep space.
I am talking about the real Voyager in real deep space. Voyager II is an unmanned spacecraft, launched in 1977, with a recording of earth music and greetings to any who find it. It is the human race’s message in a bottle, it is a desperate note saying “We are here!” on this isolated ball of rock in a forgotten corner of the universe.
It is now in deep space. The signal, which has been steady from the beginning, suddenly went wacky. Every computer user can sympathize.
Anyway, some crazy German scientist said it had been hijacked by aliens. Nobody believed him, and NASA had the signal fixed within days. Amazingly. It takes a radio signal 13 hours to get there and 13 hours to get back. 26 light hours! And they fixed it! That is awesome.
I’m guessing it will screw up again, though, eventually. It’s not getting any closer.
