Voyager approaching edge of our Solar System. Wow.

[Tetsujin]

i doubt it because we'll probably not be able to track it so it will soon be lost once it's out of power.

Apart from where it's then just a celestial object we know the trajectory of so can project where it'll be, surely?

 

[Fenris]

Does anyone know how fast it is travelling at this point?

 

[NVid'did'it]

I'm sure it'l be back in time for the release of HL Episode 3, ryt?

 

[Semiskimmed]

jaw dropping stuff!

Every time someone mentions HL 2 EP 3 it gets pushed back a month.

 

[NVid'did'it]

D'oh! , ah well. I dont think Valve devs would read enthusiast forums as such.

I would like to know this also?

40,000 years, you say? I have a feeling the planets of AC+79 3888 might just have genestealers and tyranids living on them...

Those dirty Xenos

and if you're off by a tiny margin in it's trajectory it will be billions of miles from where you think it is.

"and here it i.... oh .. erm hang on a second... just a second it can't of gotten far"

 

[Kainz]

So what is it?

Does anyone know how fast it is travelling at this point?

About 38,000mph relative to the Sun.

 

[Tunney]

Remarkable that it's still working after all these years. What an amazing piece of engineering.

FOR THE EMPEROR!

This is astonishing stuff. Really quite mind-blowing.

 

[CLAWS]

It'll bump into an Ork WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!. All the shamans of the earth will then unite and commit mass suicide to be reborn into one body.

When the orks attack.......... we will be ready....

 

[Bubo]

Good to see the solar system is equipped with a sheath.

I am sure I read it was about 17 kilometres a second

Voyager 1 is racing on towards the heliopause at 17km/s. Dr Stone expects the cross-over to occur within the next few years.

This news is amazing and awesome.

Kinda makes you realize what can happen if we put minds to it...and how petty and stupid our bickering is on this little blue planet.
