11 billion miles away, Voyager 2 is turning to find a star called Vega so it can guide itself on its journey. Its instruments are being shut off one by one and it’s still being told by humans on Earth, find Vega—keep going. twitter.com/NSFVoyager2/st…

I can't imagine being a programmer for the Voyager probes.
<Me> Are you still alive?
(An hour and a half passes)
<Voyager> I received a command. Running diag. ... Nearly everything is shut down. Still active. Sending "OK".
(Hour and a half passes)
<my terminal> *beep*
<me> YAY!

Voyager is still high on my list of “coolest things humans have done.” 🥰

Hahah. I was going to mention the trend of anthropomorphism of space probes is because we are all space probes on some existential level. Brexit is similarly nihilistic and therefore works too :D

VOYAGER is an unforgettable program. It was a favorite of all time!
