Due to the fact these were built around the same era as my Grandmothers refrigerator, not surprised still going. These need to be kept online as long as possible just for science/historical/humankind factors. Maybe we can stop wasting money on name changes on federal buildings, frivolous lawsuits, etc. and focus on what’s important for legacy of humankind. Fly fast and fly far Voyager! Forever in history of the Universe.

Around Nov 15, Voyager 1 will be one light day away. The furthest man made object. Hopefully we’re still able to ping it.
V2 will take about 10 more years.
I hope NASA throws a little party.
