YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Meteorologist Marshall McPeek from Columbus, OH, helps visualize what an incredible feat this was to reprogram the explorer.

-------------------

After a few months of gibberish, #NASA is getting reliable data from #Voyager I again. They theorize that a memory chip went bad and created data-storage issues on the spacecraft. Mission controllers have moved the data, sharing it among other on-board chips, and now the space explorer is communicating properly again. From 15 billion miles away.

15,000,000,000. 15 billion. 15x10^9.

How do we wrap our brains around a number that big?
