Voyager 1 the final Frontier

Posted by geeknews at 3:53 PM on July 5, 2006

Few realize that Voyager one is headed outbound at the rate of 1 Million miles per day and not slowing down. The spacecraft has batteries to keep it humming along until 2020. The question I have is Voyage capable of sending us a picture now and then. But just imagine a million years from now if someone or something captures voyager and pulls it apart. I bet that would make for some interesting conversation. Voyager 1 and 2 are like bottles in the ocean with a note inboard. [NASA.gov]
