It’s great that the two Voyager spacecraft are still working, still supplying data – and still opening windows for our minds to see through.
just so they don’t come back to haunt us in the 23rd century, with a new nave, “V-ger”, which begs the question how the probe read its own name and new what to call itself.
Amazing to think they are still in operation, when you consider all of the things they could have encountered. The chance asteroid that didn’t get charted, an incoming meteor skimming off Jupiter’s gravitational field, maybe just being destroyed by a gamma ray burst.
correction to above, “new name”, not “new nave” (like it’s in a church or something.)
That was an unforgettable moment in the “Star Trek” movie!! V-ger indeed! Amazing little ET’s
they have become.
Elder cousins to those brave little Martian explorers…just keep ticking and ticking and ticking.
