(from internet transcript)
Er, uh, well... eh, in light of these new facts, of which I now realize I was largely aware, I must take action. All in favor of demolishing our beloved burlesque house, raise your hands.
-- Mayor "Diamond Joe" Quimby, "Bart After Dark"
Few do, until the Citizens' Committee on Moral Hygiene turn around and stare. All hands spring up.
Jasper: [whispering] Are they talking about the bordello?
Abe: No! The burlesque house. So just keep your mouth shut.

Voyager 2
From Wikipedia
Voyager 2 is a space probe launched by NASA on August 20, 1977, as a part of the Voyager program. It was launched on a trajectory towards the gas giants (Jupiter and Saturn) and enabled further encounters with the ice giants (Uranus and Neptune). The only spacecraft to have visited either of the ice giant planets, it was the third of five spacecraft to achieve Solar escape velocity, which allowed it to leave the Solar System. Launched 16 days before its twin Voyager 1, the primary mission of the spacecraft was to study the outer planets and its extended mission is to study interstellar space beyond the Sun's heliosphere.
On July 18, 2023, Voyager 2 overtook Pioneer 10 as the second farthest spacecraft from the Sun.
Reductions in capabilities
As the power from the RTG slowly reduces, various items of equipment have been turned off on the spacecraft.
