Why are the screens in the photo blurred? What is NASA trying to hide?
Not only working but being updated by NASA.
In 2024 engineers [successfully completed](https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/voyager-1-team-accomplishes-tricky-thruster-swap/) what more be the remote tech support job ever by reprogramming the probe to use different thrusters to maintain communications with Earth. The fix to two days just to reach Voyager 1, but fixed the issue.
It is sad how few people know just how amazing the Voyager program still is
While they sit around being amazed by chocolate on Pringles or whatever the latest brain eating rot is out there, truly amazing, almost miraculous stuff is happening in deep space
Voyager 1 gives me hope every time I think of it. Belief that the human race is so much better than what some of our species may make us feel
50 year old tech works as intended, yet modern Starlink satellites are falling from the sky, and the owner of them wants all of NASA’s funding for his companies. Make it make sense.
Gen X never dies
Can it be used as a data center?
Its probably still working only because Windows didn’t get released until 1985. /s
What’s the OS? 😄
When’s the project to retrieve it for RAM going to be financially positive
Much better than anything Microsoft is producing these days
My Dad worked on this project and many others at JPL. I miss him.
well if you ever seen a as400 mashine, its not so hard to believe. back then they build computers to outlast everything
Yeah, but can it run two instances of outlook?
They DEFINITELY don’t make ‚em like they used to. 😉
BRAVO to all involved – past and present.
Can they play Doom or not is the question.
Godspeed V’ger … the Carbon based life forms infesting the creator’s world eagerly await your return.
As someone from that year would say, I’m old, not obsolete
