"Voyager 1 and 2 have roughly five years before they'll lose the use of their scientific instruments" Apparently that is when the lease runs out and Rent-A-Center wants their instruments back.

The researchers also discovered that solar material was “leaking” out into the interstellar medium. “That was very different than what happened with Voyager 1 Damn it! NASA punched a whole in the cage the aliens are keeping us in!

Duh. Its because of the hole Voyager I made when it broke out of the solar system. And now there are two holes.

Look to the EPA for further bans and phase outs of products that could deplete our solar material.
Got to close up that hole in our interstellar boundary heliopause.

There's still a lot left to explore, and the data dump has sparked a desire to explore faster, farther, and deeper into interstellar space.
What could
possibly go wrong?

Isn’t this obvious? Voyager One broke through, made a hole and it started leaking.
The bad news is, the whole thing will deflate and that’s it. The good news is, it will take more than 11 1/2 Years so it won’t matter.

That graphic above makes us look pretty tiny and that area is just a smidgen compared to the galaxy let alone the universe.
