Voyager 1 at the Final Frontier?

Seems like those 1970's launch's are finally starting to pay off for NASA. Voyager 1 is about to leave our Solar System and go interstellar. Should be some interesting findings in the next few years.

That's some amazing stuff. 35 years and still going. Nice job NASA!!

And I have to buy a new blender every few years. WTF, science?

I remember going on a field trip to JPL and watching live images of Voyager's first encounters with Saturn. That was pretty awesome.

Truly is unmanned spaceflight's crowning achievement.

When it gets blasted out of the "sky" by a laserbeam in 10 years I'm fully planning on ****ting myself.

Right on time actually. Now it can be found by an advanced mechanized civilization and return to earth as a giant destructive cloud in space.
