dont get me going on aliens lol
It is. They can still send commands and receive data from Voyager 1, launched in 1977. Thats very impressive.isn't it amazing they can control this thing from so far away...
How far away is that?

Can you imagine… 44 years oldSays Voyager 1 is traveling around 38,000 mph. While very fast, per distances in space, thats super slow to actually get anywhere.
They expect in around 3ish years that it wont have enough power to send any more data back to earth. But thats not bad for a 44 year old craft.
That is just insane…They probably should send another rocket that can pick up speed like that solar probe with todays technology. I would think in 44 years (after a launch), it could travel twice the distance with even more data collected.
Its crazy how big our galaxy alone is. If you look at it full screen, Voyager has gone like....a pixel, maybe 2.
It's really hard to imagine...Can you imagine… 44 years old
