There are dozens of satellites, and, o' how ironic that I have mistook this for the reachable ones !

Cut me some slack, I have been reading nothing but books about coding for the past year or so, okay !?

Wags finger disapprovingly

Lol name me 3 of the core components that make up for the structure of the voyager.

The antennae, the dish and the computing stuff.

You kept the bar too low 😂😂😂

Ho !? I didn't know you had it in you ! 😱

I kind of hoped you would have mentioned any of these: the magnetometer, polarimeter, and the interferometer; or the spectrometer, or the RTG system.

Hehehehehe

The last time I ever read about it was in 3rd grade 😂. So this is definitely the extent of my knowledge 😂😂😂
