Spacecraft: they don’t make ‘em like they used to, do they?

It would reach Alpha Centauri in another…73,000 years or so, if it was pointed in that direction..

I think it would be fair to say that wherever Voyager I is at any given moment is humanities furthest foray into the universe.

The plot for ST 1 with Vger was a rewrite of an TV episode called “The Changling”. It was called Nomad.

Of course they used the Space Speed episode for ST 2.

And all designed before NASA’s number one goal was to make Muslims feel good about themselves and saturate the whole agency with woke DEI bullcrap.

The speed of light limitation is a problem for long distance travel. 186k miles/sec is snail’s pace in cosmic terms.

I’ve mentioned the website Behind The Black before. The website creator/author has been writing and reporting on all things space, aerospace, rocketry, and much more for decades.

He tells it like it is when the joke of woke science rears its head.

He has reported extensively on the amazing journeys of both Voyagers.

Below are some links to his Voyager reporting.

Voyager 1

Voyager 2

https://behindtheblack.com/?s=Voyager+2

Also, here is a short video about the amazing computers on both Voyagers. The longest continually running computers in history.

The video talks about the Viking Orbiter - it used the same Command Computer Subsystem (CCS) as the STILL FUNCTIONING Voyagers.

Amazing

"Spacecraft: they don’t make ‘em like they used to, do they?"

Yep!
When engineers and physicists gave up the slide rule and adopted the computer, all original thought disappeared...
