	The explanation mentions the wire going through the Sun when we're on opposite sides of the Sun. But the Voyagers aren't traveling in the ecliptic plane, so it will probably miss the Sun. Although it still might be close enough that the heat will melt it.

		+	:While this isn't a problem now, it would have been one during the first three years of its mission where the probe traveled from planet to planet. See e.g. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Voyager_1_Scaled_Track_de.svg for the track of Voyager I.[[User:Kimmerin\|Kimmerin]] ([[User talk:Kimmerin\|talk]]) 07:10, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

	Is the whole joke of the "Alternate explanation" that they went overboard with the [citation needed]s?

 What about the Star Trek reference in the Title Text? That's definitely referring to the VGER probe that returned to Earth after being elevated to an AI.
