#2Its still alive!
Even though NASA would likely have restablished connection with Voyager 2 sometime in October during the next pre-scheduled alignment window there would be an element of uncertainty about its health. However they have detected signs that the spacecraft is still functioning.
What an amazing project and a testament to the foresight to plan for such eventualities.

45 years in space and still working. That is just awe inspiring. Maybe it will be found and refitted by an alien civilization (see Star Trek: The Movie).
