46 years is a good run for a memory module.

What’s wild to me is

Although it may take several months, the engineers say they can find a workaround to run the FDS without the fried chip — restoring the spacecraft's messaging output and enabling it to continue to send readable information from outside our solar system.

Like there is such limited hardware on that thing, and we communicate with it in such low bandwidth signals, it’s such a testament to the engineers behind the project that it can still be customized 46 years later, being outside the solar system, to overcome failing hardware

It would run a Twitter stack on a Windows server and reboot itself every Monday morning.

The planetary alignment that allowed for the first 2 Voyager missions won't reoccur for nearly a century.

I’ve been so conditioned to skim articles to get past the fluff and in-line marketing looking for the point I didn’t realize I ended up reading the whole article. Refeshing.

After decoding the spacecraft's response, the engineers have found the source of the problem: The FDS's memory has been corrupted.

Pretty much what was speculated.

There's no dlc, we just have to unlock the content properly. For that, we need a living human to get past the kuiper belt

spoiler: it's because the spacecraft has a radio with a big honkin antenna on it

I wonder if it was the legacy team that found it or if they brought in a new team to find the culprit. Would be a bit humiliating to that team of so.
