arstechnica.com - NASA lost contact with its Voyager 2 spacecraft—the second-most distant object ever built by humans and flung into space—nearly two weeks ago due to an errant command sent to the probe. This caused Voyager to point its antenna slightly away from Earth.
At the time, the space agency said it wasn't panicking. The mission's scientists believed they had several options to restore communications with the half-century-old probe. And so they did.
This is a great story about the things we're capable of doing when great minds work together and our continuing search of the Universe (You know, the one god created in six days and then hadda take a day off). I should have been an engineer. Maybe in my next life.
