    It’s not the only one, but Voyager is a great example of how NASA can take a minimally funded idea, have things break enroute, and still manage to get magnitudes more out of the project than originally planned. Voyager has been used for science that wasn’t even conceived of when it was launched.

    Makes you wonder what we could do if we put as much money into science as we do other things.

    Fantastic!! Voyager is one of my favorite things that humanity has done. But I’m sad to learn from the article that it’s expected to run out of power sometime after 2025.

    Thats great news. I’m glad that nasa was able to “yell” at it loud enough, for it to re-aim at earth.
