NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft has experienced a computer glitch that’s causing a bit of a communication breakdown between the 46-year-old probe and its mission team on Earth.

So now they are going to send engineers to fix/ replace the unit?

Letting a billion dollar piece of equipment go to waste is not very good either.

There are dozens of satellites, and, o’ how ironic that I have mistook this for the reachable ones !

Cut me some slack, I have been reading nothing but books about coding for the past year or so, okay !?

The engineers would die of old age before they even caught up to it.

Yep, but it will take them 46 years to fix.

Well considering how far it is… I can only imagine that they are going to let it go due to redundancy. And yet the notion does not escape my mind.

Who knows what solutions we might come up with in the future ?
