Yes, but what does Voyager say about climate change?

Is Voyager the one with a diagram of a man and a woman, and a map of the solar system, indicating which planet it came from?

By today’s standards it’s binary and hetero normative to show a man and a woman. Just observation of how things have changed.

A really good segment once you get past Anderson Cooper reporting it.

Originally called Mariner J/S. Ted Kennedy did his best to kill it before launch. After the first pictures came back he became a cheer leader.

Back when NASA wasn’t afraid to use nuclear power.

I remember those times. That was when NASA was concerned about outer space, not Muslim Outreach and Globull Warming.

Ah, America. When we used to dream big and accomplish even bigger.

Anyone in the Army who has been deployed in recent years knows that Goldstone is connected to Ft Irwin, CA next to Death Valley. The Commander at Ft Irwin calls it the worlds largest cul-de-sac because it is 35 mines from I-15 to a dead
end at Ft Irwin.

I guess Anderson Cooper, Space Cadet, would know...

The Voyagers are interesting spacecraft, though.

Voyager was build by evil white men didn’t realize that they couldn’t build anything without turd-world H-1B visa holders. Otherwise it would have have quit working before it passed the orbit of the Moon.
