Nearly half a century after leaving Earth, a small machine drifts through interstellar space — farther from home than any human-made object in history — and last month, the people who tend to it reached across 13 billion miles and rewrote its mind. NASA's remote software update of Voyager 2 is not merely a technical achievement; it is a quiet testament to the human refusal to let go of the things we have sent into the dark. In an age of rapid obsolescence, a probe built for five years and now in its forty-eighth continues to answer when called.
