Voyager 1, the NASA spacecraft launched in 1977 and for this man-made object in space, may be finally going dark. NASA has reported they've been receiving concerning nonsensical messages from Voyager since December. For Star Trek fans, this may be a sign that the rise of VJR has come a few years early. But it's far more likely that there is a glitch in Voyager system causing a communication issue. Voyager has experienced and overcome glitches before, but none to this magnitude. The iconic spacecraft is sending meaningless, alternating ones and zeros instead of its usual binary coded messages. Currently over 15 billion miles away and traveling further by the second, Voyager 1 has sent a variety of iconic images and scientific breakthroughs back to our pale blue dot over the decades. Even if no longer able to communicate with us, this spacecraft will continue to serve its final purpose as an emissary to any potential intelligent life it may encounter.
