Voyager 1 at edge of solar system

This is a good news!

The satellites, dispatched 1977, are on their way since 33 years and will be flying all the way for thousands of years - but will NASA be able to listen?

AMAZING!  I remember reading when it was launched and all.  That is so cool that something that was made years ago, is still operating.  We could learn a thing or two from the past, if we would only learn not to be so stubborn or pushy to get stuff out there.  Just look at the ol gas guzzling vehicles!  They may have ate the fuel, but the body's lasted a very long time.
