I'll admit it. I'm a sucker for the Voyager spacecraft. September 5th will be the 45th anniversary of Voyager 1. Voyager 2 hit that milestone on August 20th. Not too shabby for vehicles that were originally supposed to last for only 5 years.
After getting some garbled information from Voyager 1, NASA has figured out the problem and the spacecraft is once again able to send telemetry back to Earth. Voyager 1 is now over 14 BILLION miles from Earth and is travelling at about 38,000 miles per hour.
Both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have left our solar system and are now in interstellar space. That's simply amazing!
