NASA finally detected a signal from Voyager 2 after someone accidentally turned the antenna 2º with a remote command but I'm sure it has nothing to do with the new DEI hires

New DEI hires are probably monkeys.

If V’GER is going to return and destroy the carbon based infestation, now might be a good time.

2 deg at that distance is HUUGE.

lost contact with the craft last week after engineers "inadvertently caused the craft to turn its antenna 2 degrees away from the direction of its home planet." If this is the truth, I have to wonder how the craft got the antenna realigned.
If it was enough to lose contavct, it wouldn't receive a new command to realign.
Unless separate transmit and receive antennas that are not slaved.

2 degrees at 12 billion miles means the antenna was pointed very roughly at a target 400 million miles away from where it should have (tan x ).

Do they get some sort of binary report to the effect of “It’s pretty empty out here...but we’re still looking. If we see anything, will phone home ASAP”

Voyager is too distant to hit with a hammer.

The fact that anyone could send a command signal without it being checked and rechecked by many people is just a sign of how far things have fallen.

s = r * theta where theta is in radians. Works well for small theta which in this case is 0.0349 radians.
I came up with ~432 million miles. Just a smidge off.

The r*theta is only for small values of theta. 2 degrees should qualify as small. I did a lot of rounding, that’s how I got 400m
