Have aliens hijacked Voyager 2 spacecraft

GJ02 · 13 May 2010 at 09:23

IT left Earth 33 years ago, now it's claimed the Voyager 2 spacecraft may have been hijacked by aliens after sending back data messages NASA scientists can't decode.

NASA installed a 12-inch disk containing music and greetings in 55 languages in case intelligent extraterrestrial life ever found it.
But now the spacecraft is sending back what sounds like an answer: Signals in an unknown data format!

Perhaps it has malfunctioned and that's why it's sending messages they can't understand. Am I the only one to think this? lol !

Maybe not, but you're the only one dim enough to put a space in front of an exclamation mark.

Marine Iguana · 13 May 2010 at 09:36

Bet the aliens have overclocked it without sufficient knowledge and its sending back errors

Or maybe they've underclocked it, and it's now not powerful enough to compute coherent messages.

The callout fee for the repair man is going to be horrendous if it is broken.

what we need is a Cable TV guy to translate the code to reveal a count down.

That's why they told the probe to only transmit system diagnostic information! They've really cracked the code but don't want the general public to decipher it :eek:
