NASA has finally received a message from interstellar space in a way that makes sense. "Hi, It's me!" This is exactly what NASA’s official Voyager account tweeted a few days back to celebrate Voyager 1’s comeback. Considering everything that has happened in the past five months, this is nothing short of a triumph to be celebrated.

At 15 billion miles away, Voyager 1 holds the title of the farthest humanmade object in space. The spacecraft has been traveling for nearly half a century now. However, due to a glitch that led to a chain of confusing communication patterns, the last five months have been very stressful in the spacecraft's history.

But what exactly was the glitch that took so long to fix? Why didn’t the traditional strategy of turning it on and off work? Finally, and most importantly, is the issue completely resolved, or is there something else that needs to be addressed?
