The agency’s Deep Space Network facility in Canberra, Australia, sent the equivalent of an interstellar “shout” more than 12.3 billion miles (19.9 billion kilometers) to Voyager 2, instructing the spacecraft to reorient itself and turn its antenna back to Earth.

so basically... "g'day mate! give it a burl and take a good squizz over here!". did I get that one right?

Token Aussie reporting in. Good effort.

Given this is was described as a shout this probably more of a 'COOOO-EEEEEEEee!'

Or maybe a 'OI OVER HERE YA CUNT', but I cant speak to the tension level at the Canberra DSC.
