@Foodboxgourmet If they turn it back on, it'll only be because they succeeded in their clever plan to reprogram the Voyagers to be more energy-efficient. Which is a bit like trying to double your gas mileage just by reprogramming the ECU, with no hardware changes whatsoever. It'll be one hell of an achievement if it works. But if it doesn't work, the Voyagers won't last more than a few years… @pomarede
