    NASA to silence Voyager's social media accounts

    All about consolidation as mission mouthpieces archived in pursuit of 'improving the experience'

    To be clear, the Voyager mission itself is not affected, just the
    mission's social media presence.

    My first reaction was, what would this save, like $40/year? But then I remembered it's a well-known, inefficient government institution, so
    it's possible that behind the twitter feed is a team of 10 media
    experts, or something like that.

    Still pretty small potato savings for a guy throwing himself a
    multi-million dollar parade.
