YOU ARE LEAVING THE BATTLEFIELD
How the hell does it keep sending back information (assuming that it still does).
[QUOTE=TheJoker;33661181]How the hell does it keep sending back information (assuming that it still does).[/QUOTE] I thought these were only estimations of where it currently is, and that it just doesn't emit anything now. I'm probably wrong though.
[QUOTE=wootmonster;33641926]What if we discover some weird shit out there that no-one has foreseen?[/QUOTE] Oh man I read that as "No one has foreskin".
[QUOTE=wootmonster;33641926]What if we discover some weird shit out there that no-one has foreseen?[/QUOTE] Like we are in a giant glass box and Voyager is just drifting a long then *boink* it bounces off.
[QUOTE=Ganerumo;33661393]I thought these were only estimations of where it currently is, and that it just doesn't emit anything now. I'm probably wrong though.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure they are all excited about this because they'll be able to study what's out there :v: It's all radio
[QUOTE=Uncle Bourbon;33643617]it's gonna hit the skybox then we'll have to fish it back with a physgun[/QUOTE] Jesus my index finger would hurt so much from all of that scrolling. On-Topic: Science just became the best fucking thing ever. :eng101:
[QUOTE=TheJoker;33661181]How the hell does it keep sending back information (assuming that it still does).[/QUOTE] It has nuclear batteries on board, they'll keep going until about 2020.
its got nuclear batteries + small solar pannels + its got a record of earth (circa 1970s lol NIXXXON) hopefully when we hit an alien's ship by accident and they come back to get our insurance information, they'll be kind enough to give us a lift to the nearest pandora mostly what voyager has been doing is just sending back what data it can record with its sensors, the cameras are useless now, and nasa really cant tell it what to do anymore with like an hour delay or something on it personaly, we'll probably invent a warp drive someday, colonize nearby stars, then this lil guy will slam into one of our own colonies

[QUOTE=wootmonster;33641926]What if we discover some weird shit out there that no-one has foreseen?[/QUOTE] Kinda like [I]unforseen consequences[/I]. Voyager was an EP3 ARG all this time!!
