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

Not disagreeing with you. *They* were just a smidge off.

If this is the truth, I have to wonder how the craft got the antenna realigned.

I was wondering that, too.

Inclusion Quotas = Smoke and Fire

We found the problem wires were in the pipes.

The original programing was such that an error of this nature would self correct. It is programed to realign every two weeks if contact is lost.

Those engineers (now mostly dead) knew what they were doing 45 years ago.

Got it. In astronomical terms missing by a few hundred million miles is missing by a hair !

Maybe they thought they were putting it on hold.

There have been ways to design antennas to self-realign for years. I used to work on one device that auto-aligned periscopes to targets. Designed back in the 60s.

Like I stated a few days ago:

Somewhere, there’s a retired NASA scientist reading this and yelling at the computer,

“DUMBASSES!”

What’s interesting is realizing just how primitive our space travel is... With all the talk of light speed, it’s kinda a reality check realizing that traveling the speed of light, that 12.3 billion miles would equate to a little over 18 hours at the speed of light... Crazy....
