  And now, back to the show.
• 7:37
  Let's talk science.
• 7:39
  NASA's 47-year-old Voyager 1 probe is fully operational again after seven months of technical
• 7:46
  issues.
• 7:48
  In November 2023, the spacecraft over 15 billion miles from Earth began transmitting unreadable
• 7:55
  data.
• 7:57
  Engineers traced the problem to corrupted memory in its light data subsystem computer.
• 8:03
  By April, two instruments were restored, and now all four are sending readable data.
• 8:10
  Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 continues its mission, studying interstellar space, showcasing
• 8:17
  the incredible longevity and resilience of this historic probe.
• 8:21
  And in entertainment news, Matt Damon and Casey Affleck star as two thieves on the run.
• 8:32
  In the trailer for Doug Liman's heist movie, The Instigators, set to premiere on Apple
• 8:37
  TV, plus on August 9, Damon plays Worry, a desperate father, and Affleck is Cobby, an
• 8:44
  ex-con.
• 8:47
  After their heist on a corrupt mayor, goes awry, they embark on a chaotic escape with
• 8:52
  Rury's therapist, portrayed by Han Cha, reluctantly joining their adventure.
• 8:58
  The film also features Michael Stolberg, Paul Walter Hauser, Ving Rhames, Alfred Molina,
• 9:04
  Toby Jones, and Jack Carlo.
• 9:07
  The Instigators is produced by Artist Equity, Studio 8, and The Walsh Company.
• 9:13
  Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
• 9:19
  And today, our quote comes from the U.S. representative who originally dedicated the Bunker Hill monument
• 9:26
  in Charlestown, Massachusetts, Daniel Webster.
• 9:30
  And he said,
• 9:31
  Behold, then, fellow citizens, the difference resulting from the operation of the two principles.
• 9:38
  Here, today, on the summit of Bunker Hill, and at the foot of this monument, behold the
• 9:44
  difference.
• 9:45
  I would that the 50,000 voices present could proclaim it with a shout, which should be
• 9:50
  heard over the globe.
• 9:54
  And that's a wrap for this morning.
