Pioneer 10 calls home on birthday is one of many interesting links passed along for today by AndyS. Aren't these probes supposed to start transforming themselves into doomsday devices soon? I remember the plot of at least one Star Trek episode as well as Star Trek: The Motion Picture (veeger) centered around just that. I guess that shouldn't be the most likely scenario, but it seems more plausible than still being able to contact this thing 30 years later.
