IT left Earth 33 years ago, now it's claimed the Voyager 2 spacecraft may have been hijacked by aliens after sending back data messages NASA scientists can't decode.
NASA installed a 12-inch disk containing music and greetings in 55 languages in case intelligent extraterrestrial life ever found it.
But now the spacecraft is sending back what sounds like an answer: Signals in an unknown data format!
The best scientific minds have so far not been able to decipher the strange information – is it a secret message?

Is it actually possible to intercept data coming from the various probes we have out there? Or would that be considered a "risk to national security"?
Also, first post.

OK I was excited until I read the Error on the end of the article, Voyager 2 will breach heliosphere before Voyager 1, as it was launched first. If you can't get basic data right, I have no faith in your ability to report anything else.
Voyager 1 is 10.5 billion miles from Earth and in about five years is expected to pass through the heliosphere, a bubble the sun creates around the solar system, and enter interstellar space.
Voyager 2 will follow after that.

Dear TarzanBeta

Possible the biggest thing to happen in the last 2000 years.
But what concerns you is that it might be alien porn and not fit for children.
Frankly I can’t believe I am writing this.

When I buy milk from the store, generally I get the first glass.
I don't offer it to some stranger on the street, because after all, I paid for that milk.
Whatever they choose to do with it after that is their discretion.
you gotta be kidding me man. I dont mean to be rude but cmon now... WE the TAX PAYERS pay for NASA. Its actual our "milk" more so than NASA's. We are paying for their payroll and their employees.
