Engineers finally received a status update from the most distant spacecraft from Earth, after identifying the cause of the aging probe’s five-month communication issue.

    There’s an identical voyager here on earth built same as the launched one that they use for that purpose. They may also have simulations now, but doubtful hardware was capable enough when voyager 1 launched in 1977. This is three years before Tim Paterson and 86-DOS 0.10, and ten years before MS-DOS 3.31. Joe Biden was 35 and in his first term as Senator.

      You could end nearly any historical description with the sentence, “Joe Biden was 35 and in his first term as Senator.”

        Not to be that guy, but there was in fact only one year that Joe Biden was 35

          Not to be that guy, but there were in fact 2 years in which Joe Biden was 35 unless he was born on January first, which he was not.

            The cumulative time that Joe Biden was 35 was only a year long

      Unfortunately this is no longer true. Matsumoto’s paper, “Voyager Interstellar Mission: Challenges of Flying a Very Old Spacecraft on a Very Long Mission” notes that the full suite of system simulators were not retained beyond the prime mission due to reliability problems, loss of expertise, and a move. This makes the team’s recent achievements even more impressive.
