Thought you guys might like this representation of the distance (from last year).
Wow.
Mother’s deciphered part of it...it doesn’t look like an S.O.S...it looks like a warning...
(also, wow!)
*ping of interest*
Exceptional .... Now all we have to worry about is V’ger turning around and coming back. Just kidding. Should have left it as EXCEPTIONAL!!!
I do have a question I am going to have to research ... Since there is no medium for the sound to travel on (supposedly) in the vacuum of space, yet this is sound moving through the vacuum of space, how is that possible with no known medium on which the sound could travel?
That is cool!
Interestingly, Voyager 2, which was launched a couple weeks before Voyager 1, hasn’t reached interstellar space yet. Both spacecraft are still working, and both were launched in 1977, with 1977 technology. Boggles the mind.
Some information on Voyager and interstellar plasma:

So where are the pictures of 7 of 9?
It sounds like Voyager needs new brake pads.

So what powers V-ger, solar panels?
Ping to watch later.
What an amazing spacecraft. It’s over 30 AU out there. Been traveling a long time.
Whales.
When played backwards you can hear “Where’s the ka-boom. There’s supposed to be an earth shattering ka-boom. Delays, Delays.”
I played it backwards. It says “Paul is dead.”
Pioneer 10 Doppler sound anomaly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_anomaly
On September 9, 2012, Pioneer 10 was 106.696 AU (1.59615×1010 km; 9.9180×109 mi) from the Earth and 106.676 AU (1.59585×1010 km; 9.9162×109 mi) from the Sun (about 10 billion miles); and traveling at 12.037 km/s (26,930 mph) (relative to the Sun) and traveling outward at about 2.539 AU per year...about 109 AU today.
