Nature loves BOUNDARIES, it seems, even on the interstellar level.

It seems to make a proper border wall the NATURAL Choice.

Pretty impressive engineering to produce something electronic with such a long life.

NASA has never been the same since before the Muslim outreach...

And HOW is NASA going to clean up the nuclear residue? Future space explorers will be in danger due to our irresponsible use of this dangerous technology!

If we could only get more Democrats elected to Congress and to take back the White House these technological wrongs could be corrected!

“Voyager 2, thus, becomes the second human-made object to journey out of our sun’s influence”

Uh?? Gravity doesn’t exist out there?

What’s the density of matter out there? “Low”, yes, how low?
