Vger - the journey continues!
Fans of ST1 will recognise "Vger" as Voyagers 1&2 ;)
I find it fascinating to check up on what man's furthest objects are up to :D
1977 technology is blazing the way at 38,000 miles per hour :eek
and Voyager 1 is now at more than 3 times the distance of Earth to Pluto :eek
So what do you reckon? Does man's two furthest objects inspire you as our galactic representatives carrying President Carter's message from Earth or worry you that some day some hungry aliens will identify an abundant source of food? :flash
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has all the fascinating facts on our pioneers in the final frontier:
