As a 68 year-old man, I can tell you that it's so freaking cool that these two probes are still operating. I watched the launches and to have them still out there doing science is just awesome.
Took us 49 years to go 1 light day. An infinitesimally small distance when compared to the vastness of space.
Voyager and the engineers are amazing. I remember following the mission in Scientific American in the ‘80s. They only planned to fly past Jupiter and Saturn but then they kept reprogramming it.and extending the mission and sending them to Uranus and Neptune. It was like Star Trek, always coming up against seemingly insurmountable problems and just when you thought it was over, the engineers would find a solution. They will go down in history for sure.
Voyager: The little probe that could!
Incredible how they've kept Voyager 1 operational with nothing but remote access for this long, over such a long distance
"My phone barely functions". A good contrast.
The Voyager Probes were definitely money well spent, I think.
I was in High School when they launched. Now I'm near retirement, and it is so amazing they are still going and talking to us.
The kinds of people working at NASA should be the people running the world. Not corrupt politicians who only care about money.
Remapping the code to avoid using the faulty chip from 20 billion kilometres away is one of the most astonishing things about an already legendary mission.
