NASA's Voyager 1 mission launched in 1977, passed into what scientists call interstellar space in 2012 and just kept going — the spacecraft is now 14.5 billion miles (23.3 billion kilometers) away from Earth. And while Voyager 1 is still operating properly, scientists on the mission recently noticed that it appeared confused about its location in space without going into safe mode or otherwise sounding an alarm.

It’s aliens.

By the way, this sounds like how Star Trek I started.

NASA about to start getting calls… “we’ve been trying to reach you about your voyager’s extended warranty.”

Well, if I’m an expert on trans-Neptunian space, and I have been since 1997, it’s Satan...

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.

Doesn't matter. It was shite then and infinitely more shite now.

And it was launched in 1977, which means its development probably started at least in the 60. It’s running technology that was drawn by hand using a slide and rule and has vastly less computing capability than the phone in your hand.

I’m shocked it’s still transmitting after all these years. You know it has to hit all kind of space debris from asteroids and such it might just be finally starting to shite out.

Probably not. There is a gargantuan amount of empty space out there.
