In a couple of hundred years it shall return, thus it was written in Star Trek.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

That was Voyager 6.

Voyager 1 was blow apart by a klingon bird of prey and called space trash.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Voyager 1 hit the Termination Shock in 2003 or 2004, depending on which scientists you ask. It hit the Heliosheath in 2005. Initial judgements showed that Voyager was reaching the outer edge of the Heliosphere in October of last year, but instrumentation showed that it wasn't so - The Heliosphere was larger than estimated. Since then, Voyager 1 has been transiting a sort of 'no man's land' between Sol system and intergalactic space - a sort of dual-connected magnetic region.

Today's announcement is still uncomfirmed. Voyager is supposed to have left the Sol system several times previously, only to have Sol system redefined by the discoveries made possible by Voyager itself.

I saw someone else post this in a related article...

We can't get wifi or 3g working properly 3 feet away but that 40 year old hero satellite is still transmitting data over 10 billion miles away ;p


Whatever you want to argue about you can't deny that while it's discoveries may not be very exciting on their own, the implications of them and the fact that it's out there that far and we still have contact with it is amazing.

If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all...

Merge it with all global Space Agencies, and assign it 1% of Gross Planetary Product.

Bit of a waste of time to include ESA, they just seem to be proud of reinventing NASAs wheels. Sad

How much money has been peed away due to agencies having to recreate other agencies technological achievements. Don't we have spy agencies for this exact reason???? Twisted

Isn't this what every space agency has to do? Master the capacity to maneuver in LEO.

Also a waste to include Nasa by that logic, they're just copying Roscosmos. Also looking at the budget comparisons..... most of Nasa's money seems like it was pissed away on the Space Shuttle and the ISS. The ISS had limited usability if it wasnt used as a base of operations for a Moon/Mars/Asteroid missions where you can build a dedicated vehicle in LEO Straight

No doubt a sensor transceiver combination, recording everything we say and do.

Ill bet.

I always wondered why V'ger made her reappear in the shower ???

Oh, that's right, it was the 70's. Gotta have that soft core.

"Number of times Voyager 1 has left the solar system : 22
So far Voyager 1 has 'left the Solar System' by passing through the termination shock three times, the heliopause twice, and once each through the heliosheath, heliosphere, heliodrome, auroral discontinuity, Heaviside layer, trans-Neptunian panic zone, magnetogap, US Census Bureau Solar System statistical boundary, Kuiper gauntlet, Oort void, and crystal sphere holding the fixed stars."

(can you spot all the jokes in there?)

It used to be spelled 'the fixt stars' in books from the 1600s. Big smile
