Title: Voyager vs. Energizer Bunny... 100AU and still going Post by: Mr_PeaCH on August 15, 2006, 04:51:23 PM http://www.planetary.org/news/2006/0815_Voyager_1_Sailing_Past_100_AU_en_route.html
I post this because a couple of years ago someone brought up the subject of "terminal shock" and I went and polled my uncle about the subject which led to some discussion here of the Voyager space probes and the like. I honestly would have necro'd that thread if I could find it but... alas. And no, my uncle is not Ed Stone but has been with JPL forever and was a principal for both Voyager missions and many others since. Useless news to some.

You know, for posterity and such. |
