VOYAGER-WHERE NOTHING HAS GONE BEFORE

[Bill Boddy]

Yes, they should have chosen Chinese as they are the highest population. I doubt that the US wouls allow that though.

 

[Josephiah]

Or English, as the most widely spoken language?

 

[siffert_fan]

Or English because it is the language spoken by the creators of the spacecraft?

 

[Incubus]

Or Swiss. Because it's the most neutral, the records are made of gold and Switzerland is where all the gold goes anyway and because it means there are only four or five languages to learn for any would-be aliens.

Plus, they make cheeses that's full or black holes, which is kind of symbolic.

Whichever way you look at it you cannot almost not fail to refuse to not appreciate my logic.
Innit.

 

[gethinceri]

Innuit? What would be the point in that?

 

[Incubus]

Well, eskimos should be on pole-position for everything shouldn't they?...

Bloody wonderful. I saw the Storyville doc on Voyager just the other day it were tremendous.

I wonder what the full information will show about the edges of our solar system and interstellar space. A gradual change from our systems gravitational pull, or an abrupt change. And will voyager be able to tell us much about interstellar space.

 

[TR]

Why would the change in gravitational pull be anything other than gradual?

 

[Titch]

Well exactly TR, but the Universe throws up lots of anomalies, so who knows.

 

[Speshal]

One of my mostest favouritest things about Voyager is this, it really puts everything in perspective and makes me have a little cry every time.

Voyager 2 probe 'leaves Solar System'

So now they are both out of the solar system.

 

[gethinceri]

And yet, they aren't:

NASA's Voyager 2 reaches interstellar space - 11 billion miles from Earth

 

[Titch]

Voyager Brexit.

 

[RasputinLives]

Leaving the solar system so technically Sexit.

Voyagers shed light on Solar System's structure

Data from spacecraft launched in the 1970s help determine the shape of the magnetic bubble around the Sun.

"We show with Voyager 2 - and previously with Voyager 1 - that there's a distinct boundary out there. It's just astonishing how fluids, including plasmas, form boundaries."
