    Every few months there is a similar such story about this ancient marvel of technology and the people remotely maintaining it against all odds.

    I can imagine a headline 100 years from now:

    Engineers are modifying Voyager 1 decorative panel bolt into a functional interstellar communicator

      each line of code is transmitted over a bandwidth that only supports 1/2 a bit, and it takes 3.5 years to reach the Voyager

      A hacker has hijacked the communication relay and managed to install Doom on the Voyager. The game runs perfectly but the user interface is reported to be somewhat laggy.
