Voyager in 30th Anniversity

For 30 years and billions of miles, those multi-lingual greetings have been sailing along in space on a pair of golden records, onboard the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft during their revolutionary journey through the solar system, and now toward interstellar space.

In fact, back in 1979, Voyager 1 caught some intriguing signals near Jupiter. There was a bowshock, like a sonic boom, created when the solar wind -- streaming away from the sun, passed the planets at supersonic speeds. Some pretty cool sounds, and a treasure chest of stunning pictures from the Voyagers -- real eye-openers for the world at a time before the instant gratification of the Internet.

Is Baby go to the Voyager Spacecraft?


No! It's just more like a baby -- you watch it and it's like during the tests it's more like pregnancy and then after we launch the baby was born, and now the baby's 30 years old, it's like we're still taking care of it, even though it's 30 years old, it's just like your own kids, 30 years old is still a baby to you.

Is the Rcoket go to the Voyager Spacecraft?
No! The party celebrated 30 years of flight and 135 missions in the shuttle.

The Interstellar Space
...and now as we're approaching interstellar space, we find that the bubble around the sun, how big it really is. So those are the things Voyager has managed to do in its 30-year journey so far.
