NASA remotely reprogramming Voyager 1 also means that aliens can reprogram all of our satellites.
They should make a Star Trek movie about this!
Oh, wait…
This is assuming that they would know and understand the code. Also, that nothing is encrypted but I guess encryption can be broken.
I would doubt they would have encrypted anything on the probe back in 1977 when it launched.
The ultimate security by obscurity. Do you have a 30m antenna? Can you point it exactly at the space ship with almost no error? Do you know what it’s code and protocols are? OK, please reprogram Voyager
Stick with the plan.
OP says reprogram all of the satellites. So I would assume that would include the modern ones with encryption as well.
I cannot confirm or deny any such arrangement exists with an existing alien species.
Call the FBI! We found the alien!

I saw a movie with Will Smith where aliens used TCPv4 to communicate their systems. So, why not?

Probably not all of them. The Voyager probes were launched in the 70s and they don’t exactly need much encryption because they can only be programmed by someone with a massive transmitter.
As a member of the deep state, I can confirm this is true.
All I can think of is alien adolescents reprogramming them to mess with humans. Fake invasion messages, alien memes. Like cowtipoing, but screwing with humans instead
Can you reprogram the satellites? Because it must only be easier for you to do it than aliens at least you understand human languages.
If he was an aerospace engineer maybe
You’ve been watching too much independence day huh.
NASA has not approved this message.
How many times have you commented.
The joke is on the aliens.
Voyager’s batteries are going to run out real soon, and then they won’t be able to reprogram anything, it’ll be just a huge paperweight.
Aka Russia. They will have cryptographic authentication lol
