Everything about Voyager is just mind-blowing. These are 45 year old electronic devices, using 70's tech, with zero maintenance, operating 22 light hours away.
At that range they can still send messages detectable on earth. 9 out of 10 instruments are still working. People just leaving school when they launched are already retired.
This is one time when the adage "they don't make them like they used to" is well applied.

Hat tip to all involved.
