TL;DR Summary

Voyager 1, the 46-year-old spacecraft, had been sending gibberish data since November, but a "poke" from NASA engineers on March 3 may have brought it back to life. Despite their age, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 continue to provide valuable information about the cosmos, and NASA is determined to keep them operational for as long as possible. The recent glitch in Voyager 1's data is being analyzed, and engineers are working on a potential solution. Even if communication with Earth is lost, the probes will continue their interstellar journey, carrying golden records with information about humanity.
