Respect to the computer scientist who sorted that out. That has got to be an extremely satisfying bug to fix.

This legitimately made me sad when I heard they might lose this satellite. It's the farthest humans have ever sent anything beyond Earth, and it might always be the case. The science data coming back from this is invaluable.
We'll surely get faster. Remember that Voyager 1 actually made a pass around one of the planets (Jupiter?) specifically to slow it down so that it could start gathering data. It would not be (relatively speaking) hard to send something out at a far greater velocity.
That fly by of Jupiter was the original purpose of the mission.
I am always fascinated by the magnitudes nasa overengineers their missions. The Mars rovers for example. They always get so much more out of it.
I thought i thought this was solved weeks ago?
They figured out how to resolve it weeks ago.
It has taken this long to implement the results, and to get usable data flowing again
They're basically rewriting the software, and if it goes horribly wrong, the probe will just stop talking forever. So no one was in a big rush to push this into production.
But, it worked!
They have actually done it, the madlads
(What's the gender neutral equivalent of madlads?)
