I've seen this article mentioned on several sites. The title is terrible, misleading clickbait that seem to indicate that the Voyager 1 has been unresponsive for 37 years. What nonsense! This is really about how NASA found they could use a set of thrusters that had been idle for 37 years. A much better discussion can be found at this NASA page:

- colanderman 9y agoThanks, I've edited the title to match NASA's. (Can't change the URL though.)
- rootbear 9y agoExcellent. It's a great story about how amazing the Voyager spacecraft are and I'm glad to see it getting a lot of attention, even with click-bait titles!
