47 YEARS and still floating along 15+ Billions miles away.

Side Note: If you ever read Orphans of the Sky a SciFi novel by American writer Robert A. Heinlein. They traveled generations to reach the next Earth like planet.

NASA tells us now it is about 14 light-years away.
One light-year equals about 6 Trillion miles.
15 Billion miles at the rate of 47 years is 319,148,936 per year.

NASA better be looking at Dimensional travel

#2 a simple chain of alternating 1s and 0s instead of the usual binary code

#12 has been transmitting a simple chain of alternating 1s and 0s instead of the usual binary code.

That damn thing is watching planet earth. It is now identifying as non-binary.

#16 Orphans of the Sky was a really interesting read. Recommend.

That damn thing is watching planet earth. It is now identifying as non-binary.

Now that's funny. Watch it chart a course into Uranus.

#18 (I've met God, and now I speak only Hebrew)

When Voyager met alef-bet
It saw gawd. Somewhat further (het, tet?):
"Am beginning to doubt."
From the void now, a shout:

"Learning cursive,

Your skeptical pet"

#21 The poetry demands and so the poet must comply, twist though he will at the necessity.

Modern Hebrew does have a cursive form as well as the blocky print and Torah scroll form, just as English, etc do.
