Voyager 2 is “programmed to reset its orientation multiple times each year to keep its antenna pointing at Earth,”
The Elders knew that gen z would devolve into the planet of the apes, so they installed fail safe protocols so that Voyager would still be working when civilization finally comes back on line.
Magical space communications work on solar power and defeat the signal noise from the furthest reaches of the solar system... Also, immune to radiation...

It's not temporary, anything that is actually important or involves real thinking is outsourced to places like Jet Propulsion Labs etc.

Voyager 2 was expected to encounter the galactic current sheet any day now.
Perhaps it did and they disabled the probe to keep the data hidden

Meanwhile it's now pointing at an alien planet who is sending it commands to never point back at Earth.

Somehow its avoided mechanical failures, space junk and other objects, not to mention being exposed to whatever radiation and shit is out there.
It's not surprising that people think it is all fake and gay.

I wonder if they included a message on the craft
“Danger! Beware of the third rock from the nearby star, ! It’s infested with niggers”

The Voyager spacecraft use nuclear power, you 'tard.
