Hey, nobody's celebrating our exit from the solar system We made it. So what it almost took us 40 years.
PASADENA, Calif. — By today’s standards, the spacecraft’s technology is laughable: it carries an 8-track tape recorder and computers with one-240,000th the memory of a low-end iPhone. When it left Earth 36 years ago, it was designed as a four-year mission to Saturn, and everything after that was gravy. But Voyager 1 has become — thrillingly — the Little Spacecraft That Could. On Thursday, scientists declared that it had become the first probe to exit the solar system, a breathtaking achievement that NASA could only fantasize about back when Voyager was launched in 1977, the same year “Star Wars” was released. | |

In 2015, New Horizons will show us the first ever photos of the dwarf planet Pluto and its moons. Looking forward to that. | |

I heard one scientist yesterday articulate the novelty of this event not in terms of distance, but matter, which was interesting. He pointed out that every material thing we've experienced to this point has been a product of our sun. We and all that we've known are quite literally stardust.

That always comes to mind. We'll see. With our luck it'll get ran into by some transport freighter or something. | |
