Things last a lot longer in a vacuum
That's propaganda from the home vacuum bagger racket

Enjoy this article that the political wiki-mafia didn't find interesting enough to "fix".

I love that NASA can still hack on a 45 year old probe light hours away. That's amazing engineering.
Ahh, yes. V'ger. Who wants to place bets on when its consciousness awakens?
When it meets the self-replicating vonNanomans machines, roaming the vast emptiness between the stars, integrating it into their flock.
Are there a books with this premise ?
I don't know exactly. I think there should be. For a funny novel of a failed interstellar von Neumann probe, there is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_the_Lifemaker
If that is too long, or not your thing, just the prologue (linked from there) is still good enough :-)

They need to send it a message to leave the nice bald lady alone.
IIRC the nice bald lady (played by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persis_Khambatta ) got all one could ever wish for in the end, together with former Captain Decker.
Und wenn Sie nicht gestorben sind, dann Schweben Sie noch Heute!

Good ol' esoteric Star Trek references
TARS needs to do a better job decoding this for NASA before transmitting
Came here for the comments... I'm not disappointed.
> Voyager has already relied on backup systems to last as long as it has. In 2017, the probe fired thrusters that were used during its initial planetary encounters during the 1970s -- and they still worked after remaining unused for 37 years.
Incredible that the thrusters still worked after 37 years with no activity. Talk about engineering rigor.
