Nice takeoff!

Nice takeoff!

And a nice shot of the curvature of the Earth. I wish they had put a camera further up the fuselage so we could watch longer before going to graphics.

Seriously, can they make me a car, preferably an EV?

44 years with no matinience, preventative or otherwise.

Kirkunit- VGER's polite way of calling Kirk an @$$40le.

Everyone bored out of their minds?

Just got finished watching 1st episode of Strange New Worlds, so ST was fresh on my mind.
And yes I'm bored also..

Voyager - Mission Status

Voyager is amazing. It's traveling 10.5 miles a second away from the sun. It's been in Interstellar space for a decade.

The funny thing about Star Trek: The Motion Picture, is that it's set in the 2270's. So, 248 years from now, or so.

In that time frame, Voyager 1 will still not quite be at the Oort Cloud, so not even to Alpha Centauri, the next closest star.

So... unless the Vulcans or someone gave it a boost, any single Federation craft would have explored much more of space than Voyager 1 would have.

So is VGER Voyager 1 or 2?

I don't like how they call space inside the Oort cloud as interstellar space. It seems to me like the Oort cloud is the line where things stop being influenced by the sun. If the Oort cloud surrounds the sun, then it seems to me that you have to be past that before the influence of the sun is completely gone.

But i'm no scientist, i learned everything i know from youtube.

Don't discount a good YouTube education. You give me enough time, and if I can make it past the crappy music/boring intro, I'm pretty sure I could pull off brain surgery.

Starliner is approaching the ISS. I think they are about 45 minutes to an hour from docking.
Edit: First attempt at about 6:10 pm central time.

Actually I just learned it was a fictitious Voyager 6.

Fixed the Voyager 1 comms issue.

NASA gets Voyager 1 talking again — and discovers a new mystery

14.6 billion miles from one another, NASA engineers have found and fixed a computer glitch that had caused Voyager 1 to transmit garbled telemetry data since May.
