The Jimmy Carter presidency was launched in 1977 and it is still doing damage too.
Election repercussions are big.

Uh, expert in something that so far, only exists in fiction? I’m going with data corruption...Nothing we have has really gone that far...except Voyager 1...and last I heard, we’re not in contact with it at all....

Alien expert Hartwig Hausdorf said:"It seems almost as if someone had reprogrammed or hijacked the probe thus perhaps we do not yet know the whole truth."How does one become an alien expert when we have had no proven contact with any [space] aliens? UK educational grant money at work?

The Saturnaliens re-programed it. Are they having a deep-space Saturnalia?

Of course it has a mundane explanation. For aliens to send us messages through the spacecraft would be like sending text messages to someone sitting right next to you.
I’m guessing a combination of distance and an extremely harsh environment are likely explanations. Also we have no idea how many micrometeorite impacts the craft has suffered.

Depending on how rad-hardened the components are, I’m guessing it has a suffered a few DBEs. Some encoders/decoders in the transmit chain are hosed.

Sounds like the kind of sources once quoted by the Weekly World News.

They don’t talk about data corruption as much as unknown data format. Any computer science expert can tell whether there is a format to data—there must be some kind of form or regularity with the data for them not to declare that it is simply corrupted.

Well, I must admit that I thought, back when Voyager II was launched, that it’s somewhat naive to send out a primitive spacecraft broadcasting to all and sundry: “We’re here! We’re here! Come and get us!”
We’re lucky if all that’s happened is that some alien race is using it as an advertising gadget for intergalactic soap.
