It must be awesome for the original designers and engineers to look back and know that their baby is still floating away and sending us valuable data.
- cbanek 7y agoNot only that, but it will be floating away for a very, very long time (unless it manages to hit something along the way). It blows my mind to think that even if we manage to destroy ourselves, that both Voyagers, Pioneer 10 and 11, and New Horizons will be out there. (Cue reference to TNG: The Inner Light) Unless we invent warp drive, it's pretty crazy to think that these things could be the first to visit another star. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_artificial_objects_leaving_the_Solar_System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_artificial_objects_lea...
