thats great!
and the number of Africans that died in the past year due to the lack of food and wealth distribution almost matches and possible exceeds the number of dollars used to build that fvcking ship.
Very true! I also wonder how many Africans that were hacked to death by being the wrong kind of religion could have been saved by more intervention ($$$). Clearly we in the west have our priorities messed up.thats great!

Clearly we in the west have our priorities messed up. Africans slaughter each other. The west has their priorities messed up. Awesome logic.thats great!

I think it's great we invest so much in scientific discovery.Â
It took a year to work out where it went and how far? Rattlesnake_8
More like it took a year to come to an agreed determination of where the solar system's edge is defined.

It costs US citizens 8 cents a year per capita to fund operation of Voyager. Since it's inception, it has cost half the price of a candy bar per capita. Sounds like a drop in the bucket for such an enormous amount of information gathered by the project.
The more you know.Â

I was being sarcastic...I'm a huge fan of funding for science and exploration.Has it hit the Charon Relay yet?Makhaidos
Im still waiting for Babyfart McGeezax to show up
Space caaaash, seeee?
It took a year to work out where it went and how far? Rattlesnake_8Voyager one was launched in 1977, using 1977 technology, and is running off of a quickly depleting nuclear reactor that is currently 125 AU from the Sun or 18,699,733,875 kilometers. It takes time for any type of signal to reach Earth from that distance. Moreover nothing man made has ever left the Solar System yet, so it would be difficult to pin-point exactly when something has left the gravitational ****ing reach of the Sun when we've never encountered such an occurance with a man made object.
It took a year to work out where it went and how far? Rattlesnake_8I'd say the margin of error becomes pretty gigantic at the distance Voyage is at now, I suspect that right now they are basically at a point where it's without doubt out of the solar system.

You really should quit wasting your time on this gaming website and start selling matches for the poor.
We clearly shouldn't do anything for the sake of expanding our knowledge because of the poor. Life is after all just one huge hospital.
Good news. The first man made object to ever leave the Solar System. Now we just need to figure out how to travel there in much less time. The voyage took far to long for an actual person to accomplish. ferrari2001I don't even think that was it's initial mission, it was originally built to study Saturn and Jupiter, all the rest is a bonus.

Well yeah, of course it wasn't the primary purpose. However, they always intended to continue to track it until its power supply was depleted.
Except that NASA and its missions have created technologies and inventions that have saved countless lives. You're trying too hard. If I were you I'd slip back in your hole.thats great!

I hope you realize that we won't be able to live on this planet forever, so what NASA is doing indirectly could lead to saving our entire species one day.thats great!

You do realize that Voyager 1 was built and launched more than three and a half decades ago right? Not sure how not building it then would have helped Africans in the present day. Regardless, you can apply that logic to anything. Absolutely anything. For instance, how many millions have the Saudi royals spent on expanding, modernizing, etc the mosque around the Kabba? Tens of millions? Hundreds of millions? How many starving Africans could have been fed with that money?
Has it hit the Charon Relay yet?MakhaidosWell, it's way past Pluto, so if anything it would be passed the Charon Relay (seeing as Charon is a moon of Pluto). I wonder when it will land on the Citadel?
The thing is, helping others is beneath the arab countries. It's up to us inferior western types to shoulder the burden of feeding the entire world, even the arab countries

Here's a before and after pic of the probes current location in relation to the milky way galaxy, the green dot is the probe.that's pretty freaking amazing. It's still in the milky way galaxy though correct?

Yes. For comparison let's say the galaxy is a large-ish city, Voyager has pretty much just left the block and made it across the street.
I would say it just left the house. I would say getting across the street would be Alpha Centauri, which will probably happen around the time our Sun, Sol, burns out.
It took a year to work out where it went and how far? Rattlesnake_8not how far, they didn't know really when they crossed the boundary of the heliosphere, see the planets just don't orbit the sun in a perfect vacuum, solar system is filled with plasma from the sun and it creates a bubble which is called the heliosphere, and that bubble of plasma reaches out until it's going up against interstellar medium they had to determine whether or not the craft actually left the heliosphere and entered the interstellar medium, and that's what they figured out

And Islamic morons telling people to refuse polio vaccines because they contain American mind-control drugs is so much better. Science >>> Religionthats great!

There are plenty of things for which you can use this argument for, but not science brah. Knowledge is always good, and the spin-off technologies that come from development help humanity.thats great!

Ive heard this same logic before. Why fund $100 million on sending a spacecraft to another planet, when that same money could be used to feed people? First, that money being spent does turn into pay checks, which people go buy food with. Second, that are 7 billion people on Earth and its increasing. It not like there isnt food available since the population growth continues. How much money do you think Apple and Samsung spend on research and development on the latest smartphones? I could tell you a whole lot more then it cost to build Voyager. That same $2 billion spent could be used to save thousands of people by providing them with safe clean drinking water.thats great!

Yeppers, the Milky Way is MASSIVE stretching over 100000 light years; however, it is only about 1000 light years in thickness on average so we are theoretically only 500 light years away from the galaxies edge at maximum.that's pretty freaking amazing. It's still in the milky way galaxy though correct?
