NASA's Voyager 2 Probe Lost in Space After Communication Mishap

TL;DR Summary
NASA has lost contact with its Voyager 2 probe, which is billions of miles away from Earth, after mistakenly sending the wrong command, causing the spacecraft's antenna to tilt away from Earth. As a result, the probe has stopped receiving commands or sending data. NASA hopes communication will resume when the probe resets in October. Voyager 2 is currently in interstellar space, traveling at an estimated speed of 34,390mph. The space agency is attempting to detect any stray signals from the probe and plans to bombard its area with the correct command to establish contact.
