Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. It’s doing pretty well for being 12 years old.

Certainly being a child during Apollo missions I love space talk and a nice break from Lock Her Up....

Think about the technology on the Voyager mission and is that not still sending us signals? I could look it up but does anybody know?

Amazing!

Will we see the launch of the Mars mission in our life time?

Good stuff.
I was fortunate to witness Apollo 8 launch in 1968 as a kid. Utterly amazing.

Trying to mix the Topics just a bit-—I get sick of 24/7 politics. (I’m new, hope I’m not violating any norms.)
