Voyager near Solar System's edge... Solar winds moving sideways. - Polidicks

How are we even picking up the signal at all from way out there? Also, that is some good engineering for it to still be working.

Watch it bounce on the edge. damn Level boundaries

[QUOTE=_Kent_;26691102]How are we even picking up the signal at all from way out there? Also, that is some good engineering for it to still be working.[/QUOTE] aliens are relaying the signal to us

[QUOTE=Wii60;26691137]Watch it bounce on the edge. damn Level boundaries[/QUOTE] Or come back around the other side, damn people cutting corners.

I've heard that there's some serious turbulence where the solar winds slow to subsonic speeds, it's amazing that they're still speeding along after everything.

So it's passing the furthest ring? Suddenly; Horrorterrors.

[QUOTE=Ultra Violence;26688779]Maybe you.

He will make you tear your own eyes out you damn fool, and you can't help it!

Well it's not going anywhere. Ok, it's going away, but it's still going to be there. Just farther away.

We are of the generation where space is just out of our reach. Our children may fly the stars but we will not. Millions of years of evolution and here we are, a mere century short of space. The wright brothers' first flight was just over 100 years ago. Humanity has made exceptional progress in such a short space of time. But all the progress we have made has never been for ourselves. We're just passing the torch to the next generation so that they can break the next barrier. :sigh:

And to think, in 33 years its only gone 1/5000th of a light year

[QUOTE=demoguy08;26695479]Imagine a world without religion or any of the other issues we have to deal with; we'd already be populating the outer planets.[/QUOTE] Arguably the Gauls are the reason we are not in space. The collapse of the roman empire brought on the dark ages which set us back considerably. Religion itself is not the problem.

Our generation is therefore the best generation of all humanity.

[QUOTE=angelangel;26703698]That would be amazing when in the future we discover it somewhere obscure and put in a museum. :science:[/QUOTE] I always thought that one day we will have forgotten about it and about alot of what went on, then we discover it again. It will be like we discovered a window to the past!

You don't tamper with History, Facepunch, you don't tamper with History! Let the Voyager just flutter along the way it was meant to!

[QUOTE=Upgrade123;26704159]But will our children have Facepunch? I didn't think so. Our generation is therefore the best generation of all humanity.[/QUOTE] I could live without facepunch if it meant travelling in outer space was possible.

I thought we'd lose communication soon? The radio waves must be getting pretty faint.

[QUOTE=Eudoxia;26690022]That's it. We did this. Voyager is in the zone where the Sun's material influence slows down and effectively stops. By God. [I]By all the Gods, Voyager has reached the border to interstellar space.[/I] At its current velocity it will plow through the Heliopause, one light-day from the Sun, stealthily and brushing away the fine specks of interstellar matter, and it will become a true interstellar probe. After all these thousands of years of military conflicts, fake saints and true morons, confident religions and ideologies and billions of people who walked across this Earth and died, after all that, we did it. We sent a ship fluttering out among the stars. We made it.[/QUOTE] You try so fucking hard to sound smart it's ridiculous

[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;26725993]No, they won't have facepunch, they'll have [B]SPACEPUNCH[/B]. But they'll need to turn off the particle effects on their thrusters, first.[/QUOTE] And Mikfoz will take over once Garry dies.

Voyager better bring back some pizza.

Would be fucking amazing if we could bring it back, or get pictures of the probe. Would be nice to see what kind of state it is in.
