The Long Goodbye: More Instruments Shut Down on the Voyagers as End Nears

My favourite space mission and one I have followed for many years. I even have models and posters around the house. I even have an orchid impersonating the model (see post picture)

It will be a sad day when it all shuts down, here’s hoping we get to see their 50th anniversary’s.

Great post from Hackaday, read some of the comments as well, some excellent conversations taking place…

Saying farewell is hard, and in the case of the Voyager 1 & 2 spacecraft doubly so, seeing as how they have been with us for more than 47 years. ……

One thought on “The Long Goodbye: More Instruments Shut Down on the Voyagers as End Nears”

  1. Voyager has been out there for so long, it probably forgot what home even looks like. It’s like the universe’s longest road trip—except there’s no gas station, no bathroom breaks, and definitely no turning back. Funny how we build things to outlast us, sending them off into the unknown while we stay behind, watching from a distance. Maybe one day, some alien will find it and wonder why humans sent a golden record instead of a survival guide.
