Voyager Space Probes celebrate 30 years in space

Post by Airconvent »

Amazing these old girls are still going strong.
Even more mind boggling that inspite of being the fastest and furthest man made object ever built, they are a mere 13 light hours away only. A solar flare a few years back that affected earths communication was received by the probes 13 hrs later. Man, we really need Zeframe Cochrane to invent the warp engine fast! :lol:

These 2 voyagers are simply amazing. It would be cool though if they could send us like a group picture of Earth and the solar system members.
