Hearing Carl Sagan talk about the pale blue dot always brings a lump to my throat.

This is so amazing, the voyager did start 1 year after my birth.

In this year they just had the "Apple II" - PC and PC-Modem.Voyager is born at that time of Technologie did discover so much and still out there and alive traveling with a speed of about 40.000 km/h and going so far into deep space 17.367.000.000 km+, without getting damaged still sending Datas. Thats mind blowing! Todays vehicles on earth are just lame-all of them will never reach these stats not even a little part of that!

If we ever, ever get out there and out into other system... a history lesson would be a little like this. Galleio would be like Greek mythology is today and these two spacecraft would be a major historical topic that would be on every single education curriculam! It's huge! It's depressing that not many people seem to care as the basic knowledge they have has come from these two spacecraft. Mans greatest achievement is right here! Yet it's not x-factor is it? So nobody cares... sadly...

why didn't they put a sail on it and ride the solar wind?

The Voyager program represents space exploration at its finest. What an amazing triumph of technology.

If future space travellers become able to travel interstellar space in faster than light speeds, do you want them to pick up the Voyager space probes and put them in museums, or do you want them to continue their journey ? ... I believe i would prefer to leave them alone.

The gold record and plaques we placed on Voyager are just another example of human's arrogance. We place visual and audio records as if they might mean something to an entity that might only sense gravitational waves, or infrared wavelengths, or some other medium we haven't even discovered yet. Not to mention intelligence...as if intelligence as we know it is some pinnacle of evolution, when most likely intelligent beings will probably become food for some virus or bacteria.
