They called in the big guns. Here's the correcting press release: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2013-107 http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2013-107 Ed Stone, the project scientist and the nominal author of this press release, is 77 now. He was 41 when Voyager 1 launched (and he was project scientist then, too). You still see him around JPL and Caltech.
