Talk about a slow feedback loop! And I get frustrated when I need to push code to a repo to test things in CI...

> Voyager might make it to 2027. With some amount of luck, Voyager might last ten more years beyond that: "Even if science data won't likely be collected after 2025, engineering data could continue to be returned for several more years. The two Voyager spacecraft could remain in the range of the Deep Space Network through about 2036, depending on how much power the spacecraft still have to transmit a signal back to E…
Can’t possibly say enough good things about this Jon Bois fellow.
I hope the 3rd installment comes out someday. Seems to be on permanent hiatus.
Puts your migration projects to shame.
Although I suppose it could actually be easier depending on how the code works- perhaps it's just simple bare metal assembly without the approx 10^99999 libraries a modern python stack has.
There's something very beautiful about Voyager's journey so far. I hope one day when we're a true interstellar species we'll still keep tabs on it. The data may not be useful anymore, but it would be cool to imagine a year 3000 society with a little "Look at where Voyager is now :)" tool that you can see its path and where humans have colonized by comparison.
Wasn't there a Star Trek enemy that was based on Voyager colliding with some kind of doomsday machine?
It was the surprise ending for the first Star Trek film...
