And then send another one to relay wit that one
To be honest: keeping the chain alive would be great!
I can still hear you saying

By my napkin math, from 32 billion km away, a 2deg error means Voyager 2 is pointing to a spot 1.12 billion km away from Earth (at right angles). That’s roughly the distance from Earth to Saturn 😅
Yeah, if that starts changing then something very serious is going on.

From 32 billion kilometres away, to be misaligned by only two degrees is impressive.
Explain your joke please
Not everything is a joke...
