Voyager 1 Rescued: Remote Code Shuffle Brings Ancient Probe Back to Life

TL;DR Summary
Engineers rescued Voyager 1 after months of gibberish by remotely redistributing pieces of its 46-year-old software around a failed memory chip; the fix required cross-solar-system communication delays of about 22.5 hours each way, took days to implement, and by mid-2024 the craft was again returning usable data, though aging power will eventually silence it.
