Thanks.

Pale Blue Dot

"The Pale Blue Dot is an iconic photograph of Earth taken on Feb. 14, 1990, by NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft. Voyager 1 was speeding out of the solar system — beyond Neptune and about 3.7 billion miles (6 billion kilometers) from the Sun — when mission managers commanded it to look back toward home for a final time."

Intergrated circuits (chips) I helped to make in the mid-60's are on that space craft.
