Echoing Ton,

Wow this is so exciting!

For the controls team to suggest they have "multiple options" to re-establish comms on a satellite launched in the 70s that is appx. 133AU from earth is truly astounding.

And of those options that a "shout" worked is so neat.

Makes me giddy to think about satellites launched recently and in the near future and how well they may fair in comparison.
