Voyager Goes Where No Man Has Gone Before

Friday, 13 September 2013 | by Pat's Picks

NASA’s Voyager spacecraft is anything but technologically up-to-date—it’s got an 8-track. But the New York Times says despite being three decades old, it has become the “Little Spacecraft That Could.” Yesterday, the Voyager became the first probe to exit the solar system, something scientists hailed as “‘Star Trek’ stuff, for sure.” It’s unclear what data Voyager will provide now that it’s 11.7 billion miles from Earth. Scientists say it depends on how much power remains as it travels further into the unknown.
