voyagers to seek the creator ? small amount nuclear power that is tuned into heat to power the 420w for the spacecraft . voyagers left earth , aug and sep 1977 their power source expected to run out around 2025 ? jpl nasa have pushed the power limits which should have ran out some years ago . once power is off , no data will be able sent back and no data can be sent to the spacecraft . the probes will , endlessly travel at same constant speeds that is until something hits them gently or straight on and its amazing they have travelled at the speed without incident yet . analogue circuity for these spacecrafts has done well in the freezing cold conditions .
the gold disc that has video images and sound would it even play work if any species comes across voyagers 1 and 2 would they somehow figure it out ? this maybe thousands more years or maybe never ? this planet earth will never know that .
