This is an absolutely terrible headline. Voyager is communicating with Earth, full stop. The data from it's scientific instruments is coming back in a fixed, repeating pattern, meaning we aren't getting anything meaningful from it, but it is absolutely still communicating with Earth.
No, it’s an accurate headline for the general population. It’s sending nothing useful.
if it had hit the wall and gone totally silent, that would be a different thing entire.
Voyager 1 is so far away that it takes 22.5 hours for commands sent from Earth to reach the spacecraft. Additionally, the team must wait 45 hours to receive a response. I’m guessing “hotfix” commits don’t exist in this domain

where by dead we mean that the entropy of her current utterances is failing to move extant priors

I guess it is nitpicking, but I hate the word choice they’ve selected there. The “additionally” makes it look like the 22.5 and 45 hour problems are two different things, instead of the natural result of a round trip.

I would love to see a Voyager 1 simulator.
> Voyager 1 is currently the farthest spacecraft from Earth Voyager 1 is the farthest man-made object from Earth.
I wonder if we will ever pass Voyager 1. Might be the farthest for a long time.
