Vger - the journey continues!

[Ralph]

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

1977 technology is blazing the way at 38,000 miles per hour

and Voyager 1 is now at more than 3 times the distance of Earth to Pluto

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?

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has all the fascinating facts on our pioneers in the final frontier:
