Wouldnโ€™t that be just the most beautiful gesture of anonymous goodwill?

No desire to make contact. No comments. Just fixing our broken toy and sending it on its way.

Wow, I really didnt think they would be able to fix Voyager 1's computer!

Voyager's computers may be no match for what we have today, but they were sturdy as hell.

We could realistically make a computer that was as robust as Voyager's that was more powerful using more modern techniques, but it's amazing how much we did with so little not very long ago.
