Interesting video on YouTube, But I suspect speculation. Voyager II continues to send valuable info from "deep space". Its technical life span and signal accuracy has been enhanced. This is independent of earth's correctional instructions. It seems that Voyager is operating on "its" own by self correcting systems and rotational orientation. The signal controlling Voyager II is ( assumed ) light year away from Voyager's current position . It is implied that Voyager's is being controlled by another intelligent source; plus, Voyager is being used to send signals to earth. Is this info fake? What I checked on line: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-mission-update-voyager-2-communications-pause/ Public NASA/JPL updates describe ongoing health checks, occasional communication pauses, and autonomous routines, but there is no credible, official information confirming independent intelligence or self-directed operation far beyond Earth’s control. Current evidence indicates Voyager spacecraft are solar-system probes that operate with onboard autonomy for safe operation and orientation, but they remain under command from Earth and rely on the Deep Space Network for communications. To date, the official sources describe a well-understood framework of autonomous safety features coupled with Earth-based commands, with no credible official confirmation of an intelligent third-party controller. https://www.nasa.gov/voyager
I think that an international space alien has taken over Rich Douglas's account!!!! (at least for one post)
Voyager 2 depends on NASA’s Deep Space Network for its communications with Earth, and for Voyager 2 the Canberra station’s DSS-43 antenna has been the key link. NASA reported that when Voyager 2’s antenna was accidentally pointed away from Earth in 2023, the DSN detected a carrier signal first and then later restored full communications after sending a corrective command. Voyager 2 is so far away that signals take many hours each way, which is why the DSN’s large, highly sensitive dishes are necessary. The Canberra dish is especially important because Voyager 2 is only visible from the southern hemisphere, making it the only antenna on Earth that can directly communicate with it. https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-mission-update-voyager-2-communications-pause/
