For a spacecraft that was originally designed to last 5 years and made it to 50, it's hard to say goodbye, but at the same time, we have all been privileged to see it make it this far. 🫡 I salute you, Voyager I. May you be discovered by life in the depths of space ✨️

Not really surprising The NSA released documents during the freedom of information act showing that they had computers in 1968 that had the same level of computing power that Desktops had in the 90s
I wonder if things were made better. Would the same satellite being replicated today with the same materials hold up as long? Everything is made cheaper now but does that account for materials that company’s spend billions on. I’m going to assume not but eh whatever

It had multiple missions though..it performed flyby analysis of Jupiter, Saturn and Titan…they built and attached equipment specifically for purposes other than reaching interstellar space and carrying the golden record
@@TheRealZombieWizarduntil one day, 200 years from now, when we get a signal back from it. And it’s on its way back to earth. But the signal we get, suggest something has manipulated it.
Thank you, Voyager 1, for trying to send information about the space's biggest mysteries and helping us decode those. Its really sad that you are now forced to fade away. Huge respect!
I am a software engineer and debugging a code when there are glitches is one of the most frustrating things we do. I can only imagine how frustrating it would get for the engineers at NASA when there is a Latency of 1 day.
I don’t think it’s a software issue. The hardware is so old something must be failing and that’s what causing the glitch. If it was software related it wouldn’t be showing up 50 years later
@@piroko13 Yes most likely… but even if there is hardware issue they will need to debug the software to see where the issue is coming from exactly and if there is any workaround for that.
This is why I was thinking that humanity, at least in the beginning, will have lots of space stations in the future. Stations orbiting Jupiter, Mars, Uranus, or maybe even Pluto, so that we can expand our population. Have stations floating all over the solar system. I don’t know if it would be possible to have a stations over something like Titan, or any of the other moons around the gas giants, but sure as hell would be cool.
It’s so impressive that it outlasted its expected lifespan and the fact that it’s that far out and still able to communicate with it somehow is amazing.
Unfortunately the cameraman can't interfere or he'll lose his powers. As such I request people don't attack him for not fixing it because cameraman clearly can't.
Remember, in Star Trek 1, a machine race finds Voyager 1 and give it the tools to complete it's mission. And in Star Trek 5, the Klingons use Voyager 2 as target practice
I’m still not convinced that it wasn’t the Transformers that upgraded V’ger. It would fit perfectly too. That would be perfect timing a certain young Predacon to find the secret message Megatron left on the Golden Disk.
@@link2442good, let em. If they prioritize money over the health of their customers yeah they might make more, but personallt I'd rather not be hated for my lack of good contribution to society if I had the power to make one...
I have an odd emotional attachment to both. They have been alone for so long. Gliding through space for us. Maybe because they peaked my interest as a child. Both Voyagers and Curiosity Rover hold a special place in my heart. I hope that when that time comes, and it simply a relic of our species. That we honor Voyager 1 and 2 with a proper burial. They've contributed so much.
Carl Sagan and all brilliant minds of humanity that work for the good of earth deserve to be blessed to an equal proportion of incredible measures as the good they brought to earth
@@NotATarnishedif you're gonna comment at least give them the name of the game. Lezduit is a talking gun from the video game high on life, it's made by the rick and Morty people and is overrated as fuck.
In Elite: Dangerous you can find Voyager 1 and fly up to it, and it's distance from Earth is accurate based on how far it will be at that point in the future, always thought that was a strangely beautiful thing.
Yeah that's typical. The devs of that game pour all their resources into crap that 99.5% of the players don't even know is there and ignore everything else that actually needs fixing. That game can't die soon enough.
I looked it up, and from what I could tell, NASA hasn’t given up just yet! They’re still trying to fix it! I really hope they do because it would be a sad day if they can’t get it back working.
The engineers did a hell of a job creating something that has lasted significantly longer than they could have ever imagined! Hats off to them and its been amazing to live in a time to be able to witness such an amazing engineering masterpiece still functioning!
They were supposed to last only a few decades. But they extended the project several times cause of the condition the Voyagers were in. They have lasted 50 years. Its time for them to explore on their own.
I think the craziest takeaway I had from this video is that it only takes about a day to send information to a computer that far out, like that’s kinda crazy to think about
also with the voyager being so old, i wonder if a new one were made today if it could do what voyager 1 and 2 have done but much better. Maybe they’d have made something better by now if it could actually be better and the current voyagers are already so far, or maybe there are other reasons. same thing with wanting to colonize mars, how come we haven’t tried habitats on the moon first? it’s much closer than mars and i think it is deffinetly possible with current technology. people could be living on the moon right now even though it is a pretty barren place it would be one of the most amazing things ever.
@@TheEvilPorkchop03 Thank the US Government for it's criminal low ball funding of NASA for all that SHOULD'VE happened by now. I remember seeing a copy of Time magazine in 1988 while waiting in line at the grocery store as a kid... Title was " Humans to be on Mars by 2015" it laid out how to do it and what Nasa needed. I mean we put a man on the moon in just 9 years and that was just maybe a year not even of putting the 1st American into Space. Truly sad that we haven't funded Nasa the same way they fund these $60k toilets, $25k screwdrivers, etc.
To put it into perspective. Voyager 1 is 15 billion miles away. 0ne single light year is around 6 Trillion miles. Many things in space that we look at every day are hundreds thousands millions of light years away. So basically voyager is just in our own back yard.
It's heartbreaking to be seeing Voyager-1's journey ending, but the fact it managed to reach this far at all is beyond impressive. You have done well, Voyager. You will be eternalized as a legend in astral science history.
@@duckattak Odds are definitely slim to none out there. Stellar objects (even just random debris) have a substantially larger distance between each other than most people realize. For example, Andromeda and Milky Way are expected to collide in the extremely distant future. But if humans were to still be surviving at that time, they wouldn't notice a difference except that the sky would look a little different as far as constellations go. That's because each object is so insanely far from its neighbors that it's a infinitesimally small chance that anything would actually cross paths at that scale.
It is funny for me to see myself sad by this news too. But Voyager 1+2 is in charge of delivering me really amazing news. I still have the books of its photos of the gas giants. Thank you Voyager 1! I know it is silly btw.
I was just a boy in Catholic school reading about Voyager in the 'Weekly Reader' sent to us. I'm now heading into my 60's and I feel like I'm losing a friend. 😢
It's not fading into the abyss, it's going on an adventure beyond the final frontier. It is and will always be a monument to human achievement even if it goes permanently offline Who knows, maybe one day we (or another species) will come across it and see what data it collected
Yeah we are gonna reach it in 2000 years & its gonna say “watch out for the giant ice wall in space, but we already wouldve passed the ice wall & observed all that it observed if we were able to casually bump into it out there
The Voyager probes were designed and built long before "x86" even existed. It's far more primitive than that. There arguably isn't really any single "CPU" on board the probe. It has three different computer systems (each of which is redundant, so it has two copies of each). The "processors" for each one are different, and were built out of discrete components, run at somewhere around 0.25 MHz, and have a total of around 32K total usable memory combined, so each of those processors is about 20 times less powerful and has around 50 times less memory than the CPU in the original IBM PC did.
they didn't have x86 assembly. They had FORTRAN, but it was getting up there in age. COBOL, C, and Pascal were duking it out for top language, and most of the USAF used COBOL.
If it’s one light day away, then it’s travelled 1/1533 the distance it would need to reach proxima Centauri. Since it took 46 years to travel that far, it would take voyager 70,518 years give or take to reach proxima at its current velocity, the closest stellar neighbor we have.
That's why we need fusion drives and hydrogen scoops... Ramsey I think it is called... faster you go, the more hydrogen you collect and fuse which makes you go even faster. Put it on a generation ship and we'd be there in a few lifetimes.
@@needmorelighteverywayimagi9868in space there is nothing to stop momentum the voyageur will likely keep going forward until it hits or gets pulled in by something
@@bostonblaster Right as slow as it's going it's got about a couple million years before it hits anything unless a weird random meteor takes it out!

But coming back to reality you would realize that 24 billion kilometers(15 billion miles) and increasing for 100 years plus then times 2 since you also said flying back is an impossible feet to accomplish in 24 hours!!! Maybe not for a unmanned spacecraft tho I think if you do the math that would probably be to complex already but for one that can hold people comfortable is just gonna be non existing change! Like our math and science would have to evolve so much and find ways around the laws of nature
Some JPL staff have been working in it their entire working lives. JPL have probably retired people who have worked on it their entire lives. That machine is a legend.

@@scotthill1600 Not in all likelihood. We will DEFINITELY never see the voyager anymore. Whenever we are so advanced we CAN go look for it, it will be so far away, and it will probably have no power left, it will be undetectable.

How about no. Voyager is basically a map to our solar system. If an extraterrestrial entity were to discover it, our sin would be immediately targeted for destruction. We should be trying to retrieve or destroy voyager 1 IMMEDIATELY. This is an existential crisis for human survival.
@keilafleischbein59 Seriously though. Did people get to vote before sending this thing out? And same with CERN. I'm all for science, but certain experiments should be voted on before proceeding
If you truly believe what you're saying you'd be surprised to find out that Every single TV and radio broadcast and Facebook post ever is hurling through the vastness of space at the speed of light in every direction. A cool 186,000 miles per second. And you're worried about a single malfunctioning piece of hardware flying in space at a petty 70,000mph. Voyager has another 40,000 years before it reachest the nearest star. The voyager hasn't even left our backyard yet but our first radio broadcasts have already reached the nearest stars.
Speak for yourself: my first smartphone lasted for 6 years and it still works today just that I can't update the apps but I can still use it, it works perfectly and it was never broken once.

No matter what happens, Voyager 1 will always be doing its sole purpose
"To boldly go, where no one has gone before."
Voyager 1 mission plan: To try to contact earth for eternity after it can no longer receive signals from earth. Doomed to endlessly wander space with a task that can never be completed until total power failure and it dies.
It had multiple missions though..it performed flyby analysis of Jupiter, Saturn and Titan…they built and attached equipment specifically for purposes other than reaching interstellar space and carrying the golden record
@@TheRealZombieWizarduntil one day, 200 years from now, when we get a signal back from it. And it’s on its way back to earth. But the signal we get, suggest something has manipulated it.

Thank you, Voyager 1, for trying to send information about the space's biggest mysteries and helping us decode those. Its really sad that you are now forced to fade away. Huge respect!
At least the cameraman is still alive.
I am a software engineer and debugging a code when there are glitches is one of the most frustrating things we do. I can only imagine how frustrating it would get for the engineers at NASA when there is a Latency of 1 day.
Right?! 😅
Ya gotta wait 2 days to see the results. 1 out 1 back.
I don’t think it’s a software issue. The hardware is so old something must be failing and that’s what causing the glitch. If it was software related it wouldn’t be showing up 50 years later
@@piroko13 Yes most likely… but even if there is hardware issue they will need to debug the software to see where the issue is coming from exactly and if there is any workaround for that.

@@charlesmandus574 agreed.
This is why I was thinking that humanity, at least in the beginning, will have lots of space stations in the future. Stations orbiting Jupiter, Mars, Uranus, or maybe even Pluto, so that we can expand our population. Have stations floating all over the solar system. I don’t know if it would be possible to have a stations over something like Titan, or any of the other moons around the gas giants, but sure as hell would be cool.

In Elite: Dangerous you can find Voyager 1 and fly up to it, and it's distance from Earth is accurate based on how far it will be at that point in the future, always thought that was a strangely beautiful thing.

Yeah that's typical. The devs of that game pour all their resources into crap that 99.5% of the players don't even know is there and ignore everything else that actually needs fixing. That game can't die soon enough.
I looked it up, and from what I could tell, NASA hasn’t given up just yet! They’re still trying to fix it! I really hope they do because it would be a sad day if they can’t get it back working.
IT'S ALIVE YALL
The engineers did a hell of a job creating something that has lasted significantly longer than they could have ever imagined! Hats off to them and its been amazing to live in a time to be able to witness such an amazing engineering masterpiece still functioning!
Well, planned obsolescence wasn't a thing in the 70's 😅
It was back in the day before DEI hires, people were still hired based on merit.
I don't know....but I want to 😭😭😭😭😭
They were supposed to last only a few decades. But they extended the project several times cause of the condition the Voyagers were in. They have lasted 50 years. Its time for them to explore on their own.
I think the craziest takeaway I had from this video is that it only takes about a day to send information to a computer that far out, like that’s kinda crazy to think about
Yes, it sure is. The signal travels at the speed of light -186,000 miles per second. That truly puts how far it has traveled into perspective.
also with the voyager being so old, i wonder if a new one were made today if it could do what voyager 1 and 2 have done but much better. Maybe they’d have made something better by now if it could actually be better and the current voyagers are already so far, or maybe there are other reasons. same thing with wanting to colonize mars, how come we haven’t tried habitats on the moon first? it’s much closer than mars and i think it is deffinetly possible with current technology. people could be living on the moon right now even though it is a pretty barren place it would be one of the most amazing things ever.
@@fiercecamarossThat it's a mere light day away also puts into perspective just how distant even the nearest star is.
@@TheEvilPorkchop03 Thank the US Government for it's criminal low ball funding of NASA for all that SHOULD'VE happened by now. I remember seeing a copy of Time magazine in 1988 while waiting in line at the grocery store as a kid... Title was " Humans to be on Mars by 2015" it laid out how to do it and what Nasa needed. I mean we put a man on the moon in just 9 years and that was just maybe a year not even of putting the 1st American into Space. Truly sad that we haven't funded Nasa the same way they fund these $60k toilets, $25k screwdrivers, etc.
To put it into perspective. Voyager 1 is 15 billion miles away. 0ne single light year is around 6 Trillion miles. Many things in space that we look at every day are hundreds thousands millions of light years away. So basically voyager is just in our own back yard.
Next day:
Good news! Voyager 1 is fixed!
Good ending
‘B- “But how will it die..?” It’s a cameraman 🥲’
That thing has like managed to age 50 years in space it’s a testament to engineering that it has lasted and traveled as far as it has.
It makes me wonder how long one would last if we made it today knowing what we do now.
@@erinbeaud4556 Two days after the warranty expires, just like everything else that's made today.
It's heartbreaking to be seeing Voyager-1's journey ending, but the fact it managed to reach this far at all is beyond impressive. You have done well, Voyager. You will be eternalized as a legend in astral science history.
Oh, it’s still going. It simply won’t be able to tell us where.
@@JunkerFunker3Yeah. He is a solo soldier now. Complete the mission Voyager 1!
What are the odds that it got hit by something and that’s why it’s sending the wonky binary code all of a sudden ?
@@duckattak Odds are definitely slim to none out there. Stellar objects (even just random debris) have a substantially larger distance between each other than most people realize.
For example, Andromeda and Milky Way are expected to collide in the extremely distant future. But if humans were to still be surviving at that time, they wouldn't notice a difference except that the sky would look a little different as far as constellations go. That's because each object is so insanely far from its neighbors that it's a infinitesimally small chance that anything would actually cross paths at that scale.
It is funny for me to see myself sad by this news too. But Voyager 1+2 is in charge of delivering me really amazing news. I still have the books of its photos of the gas giants.
Thank you Voyager 1! I know it is silly btw.

This thing is nearly 50 years in space.
The fact that we have updated Voyager one, with programmers skilled as f coding in assembly and fortran is just insaine
The Voyager probes were designed and built long before "x86" even existed. It's far more primitive than that.
There arguably isn't really any single "CPU" on board the probe. It has three different computer systems (each of which is redundant, so it has two copies of each). The "processors" for each one are different, and were built out of discrete components, run at somewhere around 0.25 MHz, and have a total of around 32K total usable memory combined, so each of those processors is about 20 times less powerful and has around 50 times less memory than the CPU in the original IBM PC did.
they didn't have x86 assembly. They had FORTRAN, but it was getting up there in age. COBOL, C, and Pascal were duking it out for top language, and most of the USAF used COBOL.

If it’s one light day away, then it’s travelled 1/1533 the distance it would need to reach proxima Centauri. Since it took 46 years to travel that far, it would take voyager 70,518 years give or take to reach proxima at its current velocity, the closest stellar neighbor we have.
That's why we need fusion drives and hydrogen scoops... Ramsey I think it is called... faster you go, the more hydrogen you collect and fuse which makes you go even faster. Put it on a generation ship and we'd be there in a few lifetimes.
Yeah by the time it gets anywhere we'll probably already be there.
