NASA’s iconic space probe is having trouble communicating with its home planet due to a computer glitch, forcing engineers to resort to decades-old manuals to come up with a way to fix the 46-year-old mission. Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 is now more than 24 billion kilometres away from Earth. The spacecraft has been exploring the […]

Never heard about that. Pretty shady shit.
