Engineers are confident that shutting down the LECP will give Voyager 1 about a year of breathing room. They are using the time to finalize a more ambitious energy-saving fix for both Voyagers they call “the Big Bang,” which is designed to further extend Voyager operations. The idea is to swap out a group of powered devices all at once — hence the nickname — turning some things off and replacing them with lower-power alternatives to keep the spacecraft warm enough to continue gathering science data.
The chart is at about 1.5% of the way from displaying a billionaire, with Muskrat being 800,000 times higher than the top of this chart. The 1% are not the problem, they are one in a hundred. The practically unbounded wealth of a handful of people above this chart is our problem, the world’s problem, humanity’s problem.
