    I don’t know how many are still here, but do people who launched the project ever come back and get to give them a command now and then?

      In 2015, Popular Mechanics reported on the retirement of Larry Zottarelli, the last original Voyager engineer still working on the project. He was 80 years old. The article noted that keeping Voyager alive required knowledge of old languages and systems, including assembly language and Fortran.
