A few questions: how does it still have power? How is it still sending a signal back to earth? I can barely catch wifi in every room, yet from billions of miles away it can send data.



It runs on Plutonium. That’s right,



Also, NASA engineered the shite out of it.

Pretty sure they anticipate the plutonium powered batteries to run out in the next few years….

However, it will still keep traveling as it’s outside the gravitational force of the sun compared to its outward energy. I think it will burn up in like 50,000 years when it gets closer to some constellation

It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you don’t have to focus on Muslim outreach!
