Voyager Tripping

Voyager 1 is the farthest human-made object from Earth and the first spacecraft to reach interstellar space. Scientists think it will reach in the inner edge of the theorized Oort cloud in 300 years, and take about 30,000 years to pass through it.
On May 18, 2022, NASA announced that Voyager 1 has been sending back mysterious data. The probe’s attitude articulation and control system (AACS), which has the job of controlling the spacecraft’s orientation, pointing its high gain antenna toward Earth and controlling attitude maneuvers, has been sending back data that doesn’t reflect what’s happening aboard Voyager. NASA explained, "The data may appear to be randomly generated, or does not reflect any possible state the AACS could be in".
While Voyager is tripping the light fantastic (in every way), it continues to communicate humanity's aspirational message of striving, creativity, peace and understanding.
