This is CVSI on the world.

Bob Zimmerman keeps behind the black.

September 5th, 1977.

And right now, Voyager 1. Bob Bob I'm worried about Voyager 1 what do we what do we know

Voyager 1 was launched in 1977 and it had a very simple computer it had a nuclear power source so that it could last for a very long time.

And that computer has now been running for about 46 years.

It's the longest running operating system in the universe, at least in the human universe at this point.

It's been running all that time. It is now just beyond the solar system, the Helio Shee.

But in November, it started to send back data that was not readable.

And they've been trying to troublesuit it. It's because it's 25 it takes like a day for the command to get there by light light speed and then it takes about a day for the response to come back and they have to analyze it. They now have

engineers have now determined that they know what's wrong, that about 3% of the

memory in one particular unit is corrupted. And what they need to do is they have to send up a patch to avoid

that bad corrupted hardware.

The problem is it's going to take them maybe weeks or months to do this because once again the signals back and forth is so slow and they have to figure out what to do.

What's considered with an issue here is that Voyager 1's power supply will run out sometime in

2026. So the spacecraft doesn't have that many more time to go. It's only got maybe at

most two years. So the longer they take to fix this, the less time we're

going to have to get little aspects of data from this spacecraft. So if they don't get moving

soon, they're not going to get much else from it, unfortunately.

The White House has a better idea, a lunar clock. What is that about?

You know on Earth we have our time zones, but you also have Greenwich time which is basically

considered to be the universal time but they have also
