Actually aliens used it to relay a message: “Send more Chuck Berry.”

The best of 70’s Technology just keeps on working. Glitch here, glitch there, just keeps working.

A football field is an excellent unit of measure - I use that all the time.

I watched an old NASA video on how those probes were constructed.
Densely packed hard wired transistors on a metal skeleton, then sealed in resin.
They got a good billion miles left in em, ayep

So with Pluto, at approximately 3.3 billion miles from us, Voyager is about 4-1/2 times farther out from Earth than the dwarf. Is there any object closer to 15 billion miles than Pluto? Everything to the right of the red vertical line labelled "Plutinos" in the following chart:
So: Only a couple of hundred that we know of (i.e., whose orbital data we have already reliably calculated).
Voyager 1 wouldn't even appear in this chart, since it's so far away (far off to the right of where the chart ends).

WOW, I’d like to see that for myself. Was the name of it? Did you see it online?
That old discrete component hardware and TTL chips were a lot tougher than the modern CMOS stuff.
