The Voyagers

We are there now. There's nothing there as far as SETI is concerned. How long to enter another star system. You will be long gone by then.

Darn, I was hoping to stay around for the end.

Good article from Time.

Another good read Lynn. One day we will possess the technology to fly off
into outer space thence be able to retrieve these two Voyagers. Bring them
back as our heroes to early space technology....one day.

Thanks for the update Lynn....more to come from the Voyagers I feel
before their days are finally over.

Hopefully our NASA MARS corespondent Chris will soon have an update
for us on this project too.

I and my intrepid colleague Lynn, will endeavour to acquaint you all with the latest news, on the respective interplanetary projects that we are monitoring.

NASA probe enters unexplored territory at solar system's edge
Now in 'cosmic purgatory,' Voyager mission continues toward interstellar space

After more than 30 years of traveling through the cosmos, a far-flung NASA spacecraft has entered an uncharted region between our solar system and interstellar space, scientists announced Monday.

Super update again Lynn...In a way you almost feel that the Voyagers have
finally left us and gone on to stray out into the "Universe". They have finally
left us behind and gone on to, "Where no one has been before"

And to think that possibly one day, in a thousand years time, their found
wondering back to us again. Upon retrieval a post-it note is found attached
to them reading, "We think these are yours, found lost in space, returned
no charge and have a nice day".

Knowing our luck, they may have forgot to stick stamps on it and we'd have to pay a surcharge!
