So it’ll come back to us, fully sentient, in the 23rd century? 

I saw this yesterday and my first thought was....   We're worried about a 45 year old satellite is malfunctioning?  Considering this thing was built with 70's technology and has been floating around in the ether for that long, it's been a huge success.

So we couldn't buid a Ford Pinto that wouldn't explode when it hit a speedbump, but we're supposed to believe we could build a machine that could fly through radiation and space dust for 45 years straight?  Riiiiight.

Ford didn't build Voyager 2.

I just hope we get Lt. Ilia back, she was hot. 

Isn't the failure to properly rotate the antenna what caused HAL to freak the fuck out initially?  And this is all happening IRL, the same week NASA announces they've already deployed AI on some of their previous missions?  Yeah, can't wait to see where this is going...

Shoot, I'm 46 and sometimes I don't function properly, and sometimes my antenna points the wrong way.

At least it's not sending ads we paid not to get.
