You are late to the game. They designed the Voyager probes to re-align automatically. But they also sent some other commands to start this process earlier which has happened succesfully in the mean time. So nothing is lost.

Like certain famous comedians, writers and others, the reports of Voyager 2s death has proven premature.

Indeed.  There was a scare for a bit, but there are some smart minds around - some back in the 70s and some contemporary - that brought things back to nominal.

Those people have my respect.  :-+
