That is very and what we need to be doing more of as a nation. Push the boundaries, explore beyond what we know, and discover!

As my Dad always said when I went out to ride my bike, “Write if you get work...”

Well done, V1....

There was a time when the US was bold enough to accomplish this. Now, we’d rather pay for federally funded abortions, sex reassignment surgeries, and all of the other freebies our government bought votes with.

Confusion! How does this ‘reach out’ and help Muslims feel better about themselves. Mohammed didn’t launch interstellar probes so we should not either. It’s offensive.

From a different report,
“”Although Voyager 1 still is inside the sun’s environment, we now can taste what it’s like on the outside because the particles are zipping in and out on this magnetic highway,” said Edward Stone, Voyager project scientist based at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena.”

I bet it tastes like microwave chicken...

A vestige of American ingenuity that may outlast any recent examples. Truly incredible.

All I know is that there isn’t much of anything out there. It’s like really, really, empty.

What is needed is a “brute force” probe, that is basically an armor plated ball with an engine out the back. And not just any engine, but an advanced ion drive.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_drive

It would be the first probe designed entirely for the exploration of deep space. Once outside the solar system, the armor plates would open, so the equipment inside would not have been degraded by radiation and particles within the solar system.

“Anomalous cosmic rays, which are cosmic rays trapped in the outer heliosphere, all but vanished, dropping to less than 1 percent of previous amounts. At the same time, galactic cosmic rays – cosmic radiation from outside of the solar system – spiked to levels not seen since Voyager’s launch, with intensities as much as twice previous levels.”

Keep in mind that, when NASA says “energetic particles”, or “cosmic rays”, they are talking about charged plasmas in space. So really, they are saying that the craft has passed the boundary of the plasma bubble surrounding the Sun, and is travelling into the surrounding plasma, which our Sun’s plasma emissions shield us from.

Now, also keep in mind that mainstream physicists maintain that there is no charged plasma medium permeating space, since that would necessitate admitting that there must be electomagnetic forces transmitted through that medium, which the standard cosmologies don’t account for. Yet, NASA can’t help but admit that this plasma medium exists, because Voyager detects it as soon as it exits our heliosphere.

In other words, they are using deceptive language to pretend that their data is not confirming a huge hole in the standard cosmology that they don’t want to deal with.

Voyager 1 has entered a new region of space

My first thought.

How long does it take a transmission from Voyager to reach earth?
