Angus McIntyreRemember: we live in a world where the people buying $400 gold sneakers from a known con-man probably consider themselves smarter than the people who just reconfigured a malfunctioning spacecraft twenty-two light hours away over a 40 bps communication channel.

Attached: 1 image Great news on Voyager 1. Richard Stephenson of DSN Canberra reports that engineering data was being received from Voyager 1 last night at 40 bps. No science data yet, perhaps because they did not switch to the higher 160 bps rate, but this is a major step towards recovery and validates the diagnosis (failed memory chip in the FDS computer) and fix (rearrange software to bypass the failed memory area). Now waiting for a status update from NASA. 23/n
