A four-year mission just to fly by jupiter and saturn. and everything that's happened since has been a bonus, if you like. >> you must be very excited knowing that this is a little spacecraft that could because it's quite simplistic compared to what we have now. >> that's right. the computers, of course, were designed in the early '70s. they have very little memory. i think a smartphone today has 247,000 times more memory than the voyagers of spacecraft have. but they can really do the job because they're so reliable. >> what messages have you been receiving over the past few years that really...
