    Haha I mean that’s fair. Although I’m mainly just displeased with the title of the article. Its worded in a way that conveys that we’ve lost contact with the satellite completely, which is not the case. Just a bit too click baity for my tastes.

      I didn’t quite read it that way, but I can see how someone could read it that way. It does really seem like the probe is having problems with its internals, less than “communication has stopped”
