Unfortunately the mtimes on the images are all 1 Dec 2004. Probably the files all got copied without preserving timestamps. Edit to add: Sorry, firefox misled me by showing the mtime of the html page when I asked for image info. The images

The hard part would be talking to it. Voyagers have the highest path loss of any communications link, over 300 db. NASA uses 70 m dishes. We can assume that they have cut the transmit power (or raised the data rate) as much as possible, so
