It’s really fucking wild that they can still operate at all.

And there’s a second layer of it being wild that we can even communicate with them, despite being outside of the solar system, and being 50 years old.

Everything about these two spacecraft is just amazing. It’s going to be quite a sad day when they transmit their last byte of data to our little planet. Reading about all the things we’ve done to keep talking to them. The redundancies that they’re running on etc… Fascinating stuff
