That's such a lovely website. What a great project! Totally ignorant question – is that an exhaustive list? Wow, such mind bogglingly incredible machines.

- bjd2385 11y agoTheir site says it's a catalog of "the active human-made machines that freckle our solar system and dot our galaxy." Obviously it's not really the "galaxy," per se, considering we only have one probe that's actually left the solar system so far (Voyager 1). There are a number of inactive probes.
- mjklin 11y agoPioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 might have left the solar system but we don't know where they are...
- goodcanadian 11y agoIn the sense of whether it is everything ever launched . . . not even close. It might be an accurate representation of those probes that are still active and in contact with Earth.
- fuckhncensors 11y agoso it seems that hn blocks on ip after a posting the hive mind disagrees with - maybe stuff like "down with chairman pao" or "fuck the femtards" - but anyway, we just find new ip addresses! we are legion, we are the commentators!
- jccooper 11y agoOf active craft, yes. I had to double check; I became suspicious when I saw nothing Russian, but indeed there are no active Russian probes.
