    NASA engineers scratch heads as Voyager 1 starts spouting cosmic
    gibberish


    Science and telemetry data hit by latest issue

    NASA's veteran Voyager 1 spacecraft has stopped transmitting
    engineering and science data back to Earth.

    The issue appears to be with the Flight Data System (FDS), which is
    not communicating correctly with one of the probe's subsystems - the
    Telemetry Modulation Unit (TMU).

    Rather than useful data, the TMU is simply transmitting a repeating
    pattern of ones and zeroes as if it were "stuck," according to NASA.

    My money is on alien interference!

    Clearly the United Ophiuchus Federation is sabotaging Earth's efforts
    to spy on them.

    It's binary Jim, but not as we know it...
