Excellent info.

Thank you. Every 175 years. What a window.

I just learned about the 175 year window reading that Wiki article tonight. I remember Dad talking about the launch window, but I always figured there had to be another coming up, so what’s the big deal? It never occurred to me to ask him how often those launch windows occurred.

175 years...incredible, huh?

The Voyager probes were launched when I was in high school. I'm looking at retirement in 5 to 7 years, maybe less.

They haven't even gone a light-day yet. The nearest star is ~4 light-years (!) away. The universe is unimaginably big.
