NASA’s scientists failed to stay seated when their eyes caught hold of the oscillations of the region around Voyager 1 on their instrument. It may sound hilarious what oscillations am I talking about! But it’s about NASA’s space-of-the-art Voyager that has “touched a milestone and is on its new journey,” as dubbed by Ed Stone, the mission's chief scientist at the Nasa's jet propulsion laboratory.

Should have put a turbo charger on that thing.
Good LORD We Freepers are geeks LOL!
At some point the news flash will be...
Ancient space probe to arrive soon.
Scientists are eagerly awaiting the arrival of
Voyager 1 launched thousands of years ago from
the Earth solar system.
Follow live on your embedded vis screens.
And that’s the end of the Galaxy news for today.
Remember it’s a full double moon tonight and the
Grunnion are running, be sure to wear your armored
gloves..
“We’ve officially littered our galaxy!!!”
LOL! Never thought of that!
Any word we may get invaded by Klington or Romulan empire in near futre ROFL
We were invaded by the Obomulans five years ago, they
trounced the Clintonite regime and have been running
roughshod ever since.
OH YEAH I forgot about those guys LOL!
It is.
The future belongs to unmanned spacecraft. They have gone and will go where no man can. In fact man might not be able to match these accomplishments for probably thousands or more years, or possible never.
Unmanned spacecraft have obtained so much data in the past 30 plus years, we'll be studying that data for another several decades. It will be the unmanned spacecraft which will pave the way manned missions and is in fact doing that right now in regards to Mars.
It's why the Shuttle program needed to end...I believe the shuttle program competed about 30,000 orbits...It basically was reduced to supplying the ISS.
Ironically, it tried to stop off at a Howard Johnson’s but there was not space.
*no space
Way to ruin a punchline.
