#2624: Voyager Wires explain

[In the bottom right corner is a space probe, with large satellite dish and long antenna. Behind it runs a long wire, that makes three loops before it is connected to North America on the Earth in the top left corner. To the left of the Earth there is a second wire, which goes off-panel to the left.]

Sad news: Due to high copper prices and budget constraints, NASA may finally have to cut the wires that they’ve been spooling out to communicate with Voyager 1 and 2.
