To be honest: keeping the chain alive would be great!

You would never break the chain

By my napkin math, from 32 billion km away, a 2deg error means Voyager 2 is pointing to a spot 1.12 billion km away from Earth (at right angles). That’s roughly the distance from Earth to Saturn 😅

Yeah, if that starts changing then something very serious is going on.

From 32 billion kilometres away, to be misaligned by only two degrees is impressive.
