I wonder what Voyager II looks like now? Probably pitted and dusty.

It’s 30 years old and has 11.6 billion miles, must be a Ford.

So according to my math it takes 27 hours for a signal to reach Voyager. One way.

One of my favorite Moody Blues tunes, dedicated to Voyager (I believe).

Yep. Pretty far away. Good engineering done then, 30 years in a very hostile environment and still ticking. Maytag level of performance. :)

If it were 50 years old, I'd day a Mopar with a 225 Slant-six, as there isn't must rust in outer space.

I don’t know nikos1121. Something to do waiting for Christ’s return that allows us to see the wonder of God’s creation? Just sayin.
