Well in a way Voyager 1 and 2 are bran new relative to the age of the universe.
But for us they are from 1977 which is 47 years old, bombarded by cosmic rays and what not. It's crazy they still have power.
It's amazing NASA has succeeded establishing contact again 24 billion kilometers away, they really have some crazy good people working there then and now.
