I need an eink display on my office wall showing the current location/status. I always get a tremendous sense of wonder and wellbeing thinking about these probes/achievements, maybe it'd help keep me centered before the daily onslaught.
- hackernewds 3y agothe current status is that we do not know where it has fared to, according to the title
- fnordpiglet 3y agoUnless aliens grabbed it or something hit it, I’m pretty sure we know precisely where it is. What we don’t know is what it’s experiencing there.
- Vecr 3y agoNot exactly, the model for the various slowing/drag effects are not known along even its near future course. Edit: disregard, I think it's probably still measurable, just not as well.
- ant6n 3y agoNono, it's Voyager _6_ that gets destroyed by the Klingons.
- soylentcola 3y agoI thought 6 was the one that became V'Ger.
- cafeinux 3y agoIt is, and afaik no Voyager probe has been destroyed by the Klingons.
- ant6n 3y agoOh true. It was pioneer 10 that will get destroyed by Klingons. It’s easy to get them mixed up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_10#Pioneer_10_in_popular_media https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_10#Pioneer_10_in_popul...

- hawski 3y agoI think you could get away with just printing a status page once every few months.
- DonHopkins 3y agoOr moving a post-it note with a tiny little dot on it.
