My heart goes out to this old guy. He must have been in his 20s when he launched this spacecraft.... He's now an old man and watching it hit interstellar space.
We need to, the future of humanity lays with our understanding, and determination to reach the stars. Whether we're alone or not we owe to ours to find out, but we can only do so much here...
It brings tears to my eyes imagining this intrepid little device sailing the infinite void at velocities I can hardly imagine, carrying our dreams, and reaching for the stars.
Finally! When we stop existing as species Voyager 2 will still be travelling in space and will be a proof that once, intelligent and civilizational life in space, somewhere existed. I wasn't even born when Voyager 2 was launched.
I like to be more optimistic. One day, we will have developed to the point where rapid interstellar travel has become a reality. And when that day comes, I hope someone will recover these two miracles of civilization, to finally put them to rest. "Sleep tight. Your work is done."
Well, there's the case of a command being misinterpreted to turn on the internal heaters of Voyager 2, and the other case of the bit flip in one of the memory words of Voyager 2. That memory address is now off-limits.

1:40 - When they flashed back to the 70's, the guy being interviewed is in the front and center!! Doesn't look any different! Thank you for all your hard work Voyager teams!
Gotta admit, I can't even grasp the complexities involved in these Voyager missions - (the signal is like a billionth of a watt they're tracking) All I know is - NASA - YOU - are writing the book on space exploration - and I can't wait to hear what you found next! Keep it going! We salute & applaud you!! Thanks!!!!
NASA gets a signal from interstellar space. I can't get a cell signal in my backyard :\ congrats NASA! May there be many more successful missions just like it!
Wow.. Humanity has reached out beyond the sun's sphere of influence towards the infinity of outer space. Remarkable feat by NASA on behalf of humanity!
Congratulations to everybody who contributed to the Voyager missions! I was 12 when Voyager2 visited Uranus and remember we had no idea what to expect from other planets. What a long way have we come since then. You truly made our solar system seem somewhat smaller. And now that you both left, it seems a little bit emptier for it. God speeds, Voyagers 1 and 2! Proudly proclaim to the Universe that We Are Here.
“Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.” - Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, #1)
Silent assumption here is that the size of the Universe is compared to our size. But we are as huge to preons (subatomic particles of quarks which are subatomic particles of protons and neutrons which are (by definition) subatomic (
Thank you, NASA! For the periodic reminder of how old I really am! Voyager 2, launched in 1977, Star Wars, launched in 1977, Me, -launched- born in 1976!👍
Master boss. I agreed. We are not there. But at least we sent that machine there. Perhaps just perhaps one day we will go there. It's a very good start. U don't think so. 🙂
I think one of the camera of voyager 2 is still functional, if thats the case, I really wanna see a picture of interstellar space and also one a pic of solar system....
Unfortunately, no. All cameras on both Voyagers were deactivated to save power years ago. *_HOWEVER,_* Carl Sagan persuaded the Voyager Imaging Team to take a "Family Portrait" of the solar system. On Feb. 23rd, 1990, six of the eight planets of the solar system were imaged by Voyager 1. Mercury was too close to the Sun and Mars was lost in sunlight scattering in the camera's optics. Earth was like a blue mote of dust in a ray of sunlight scattered by the camera's optics. Sagan named it the, "Pale Blue Dot."
All of the cameras on both were powered down, the software that operated them permanently erased, and now the extreme cold out there probably shattered the circuit boards and electronic components. In other words, even if there was electrical power sufficient to run the cameras now, they would not work. They failed decades ago. The last images sent by either Voyager were taken on Feb.14 1990, at the behest of the late Dr. Carl Sagan and Dr. Carolyn Porco who headed the imaging team for the recently concluded Cassini mission. They were a family portrait of the Solar System from high above the ecliptic. The cameras had nothing more to photograph after that.
To the great visionaries and scientists who dedidcated their life for this mission but not present now to see these landmark events, there's only one thing to say, "this short human life may end but your achievements will be remembered to the end of our civilization in the name of your children "VOYAGER'S".Humanity will always remember your contributions R.I.P(rest in physics).
loveulovelife so you have proof that they’re lying. Or are you just going to be the typical idiot who makes a lain with no proof. And here’s a thing. Gravity would work very differently than it does in real life if the earth was flat. Explain.
I find comfort in knowing no matter what happens, the best part of our species is embodied in voyager 1 and 2, and that they will be traveling the stars so that another civilization may one day find it and ask questions about who we are, a flawed species, but a species that no doubt loved and respected the stars ❤️
They will travel until they are pulled in to a gravity well or something rips them apart, but we may never really know. They might travel until the stars themselves die out or until an alien race finds a shooting star in *their* night sky.
...but in the end, facing annihilation of the human race, Matthew Broderick's descendent will upload Crysis into Voyager 2 and when it realizes it is unable to play at full settings will simply shut itself down and burn up in in our atmosphere.
I love the comment in the video about the technology back in the 70's "your smartphone has 200 thousand times more memory than the probes". back then, Fortran programmers were punching holes in thousands of cards that would be fed into a mainframe.
@@webbie7503 Well a Warpdrives theoretical fuel needs got a lot smaller recently , first it was a sun, then it was the energetic mass of say jupiter and now it's just a few tons so it's getting smaller. Still oodles of issues to overcome that still seem to make it pretty unlikely but I always lean towards it being a matter of when not if.. even if that when is thousands of years in the future.
@@yeahkeen2905 I think you are confused with the method of travel I'm talking about, you don't hit FTL with the warpdrive concept I'm referring too. You are just contracting and expanding space thus by-passing the usual rules that would restrict such travel. The main two issues were 1) laying your hands on negative mass and 2) Getting burned to a crisp inside the bubble.. to quote Issac Arthur. [SFIA]
@@yeahkeen2905 Also to go to other systems you really only need a Generation Ship or Gardener Ship running on fusion tech which we are finally pretty close to achieving even though the meme has always been "20-30 years away." That would give you up to what? 10% the speed of light which really opens up a ton of potential. I think I read concepts for setting up maser high ways for interstellar travel which doesn't even need fusion tech so it's more a case of $ investment and orbital and solar infrastructure.
That’s still a couple hundred years away when you think about it, I mean we should all have flying cars by now and everything else in back to the future..
Watching this gave me chills. Congratulations NASA JPL! I was one year out of high school when Voyager launched. To think of all the hard work, perseverance, and dedication that went into the mission, and then that the vehicle even lasted long enough to cross out into interstellar space? That was the stuff of sci-fi back then, only a hope.
I was 5 when you launched. Really awesome that I got to experience this in my lifetime. Great work and congratulations to the whole team that made this possible.
I saw the news that the two voyagers were launched into the space and started their journey when I was a little boy. Now they eventually get into the interstellar space and fly to the nearby stars. How wonderful adventures it is.
They actually just fly or more correct fall in an random direction so getting to some star would take millions of years and we will lose contact with them in the next 10 years.
Great stuff! The Voyager team should get Nobel price for what they have achieved with the resources available for them at that time. For an example the computer processing capabilities etc.
It joined its sister probe in interstellar space on by birthday. That was a pretty awesome treat. It's sad that they will sputter out soon and become powerless husks with a golden record attached to them, but the data and pictures they sent back to Earth will be remembered for generations, long after their journey no longer involves messages from home. Thank you NASA for all the discoveries.
I literally JUST watched a BBC documentary about our solar system and about both voyagers and their respective missions......I swear Ed (theoldguy) was the equivalent of an intern back then....soooo young!!!!😳😳😱😱 wow more than 4 decades just flew by like that!!
The story of Voyager is one that chokes me up every time I hear of another milestone. It's one of humanity's greatest creations. I was 3 months to the day from being born when Titan launched with Voyager 2 aboard. Both Voyagers I consider my siblings because we were born and send on a grand journey in 1977. I pray, man do I pray that the RTG's on board both craft over perform.
Entire scientific careers have been built during the duration of the Voyagers. Absolutely incredible. And the Voyagers are STILL transmitting valuable data to NASA after all these decades!
Same here. On an unused channel, my local cable company broadcast the raw images as they came in & NASA press conferences. I was TOTALLY blown away when the photos of Triton & its cryo-volcanoes arrived. The Imaging Team were absolutely giddy at the press conference describing the mysterious parallel dark linear features, each with a bright white spot 'upwind' of the black smudgees.
Another extraordinary milestone in space exploration, from an incredibly well designed spacecraft. Something every U.S. citizen (and member of the human race) should be proud of. One has to wonder about the motivations of the hundred-some who "thumbs-downed" this...
If more money was spent on space agencies, humanity could have already developed faster rockets and the necessary space infrastructure to send something much faster into interstellar space. The fact that after so many years there are only two voyagers, is a real shame.
The voyager 2 craft is going at about 10 miles a second, that’s 35,000 an hour. And it took 41 years to get to interstellar space. And if that doesn’t show some of the insane scale of the universe i don’t know what does
I was 7 when she was launched and am 47 now. You guys are amazing ❤️
I was -19
I am 17 now, I don't where it will reach when I will be 47🤔.
I'm 28 now, I wasn't born at that time :D

I literally JUST watched a BBC documentary about our solar system and about both voyagers and their respective missions......I swear Ed (theoldguy) was the equivalent of an intern back then....soooo young!!!!😳😳😱😱 wow more than 4 decades just flew by like that!!
Congratulations NASA
Great News ! Congratulations to everyone who is or was involved. NASA and the world are certain to find many more interesting things from Voyager.
V'GER!
Bravo!! What an achievement! I sincerely believe that this 2 crafts may outlive mankind.
Wow now 2 manmade objects in interstellar space(Love you NASA!!!)
I was 14 and Star Wars , and Close Encounters of the Third Kind was Out !! What an Awesome time to be 14 !!!
One dislike? Hmmm...must be a citizen of Flattardia.
its Flaturdia to be more precise
😆😆😆
Either a Flat earther, Anti-vaxxer, and/or a Trumpster
I’d argue that some dislikes don’t matter. It doesn’t change the awesomeness
If oil is made from decaying dinosaur bones, and plastic is made from oil, that means plastic dinosaurs are made of real dinosaurs
The story of Voyager is one that chokes me up every time I hear of another milestone. It's one of humanity's greatest creations. I was 3 months to the day from being born when Titan launched with Voyager 2 aboard. Both Voyagers I consider my siblings because we were born and send on a grand journey in 1977. I pray, man do I pray that the RTG's on board both craft over perform.
Amazing stuff. More amazing discoveries to come in my lifetime hopefully.
Entire scientific careers have been built during the duration of the Voyagers. Absolutely incredible. And the Voyagers are STILL transmitting valuable data to NASA after all these decades!
I remember watching the Neptune encounter.
Same here. On an unused channel, my local cable company broadcast the raw images as they came in & NASA press conferences. I was TOTALLY blown away when the photos of Triton & its cryo-volcanoes arrived. The Imaging Team were absolutely giddy at the press conference describing the mysterious parallel dark linear features, each with a bright white spot 'upwind' of the black smudgees.
I was launched to this life in 1977, too.
I can't believe it took 41 years to that little thing to reach the border of the Solar System.
And its a shame that still some people are wasting their energy and time saying the earth is flat. 😢😢
They are as uneducated as their great grandparents.....or the shame of their great grandparents if their great grandparents were educated.
The education system in the US must be pretty bad...
@@DennisBareis the US' ranking in education is in the top 30s, yeah its pretty bad, ot their parents can't afford it
@@DennisBareis it's one of the worst on this planet. Anywhere you have a lot of non-Asians and non-whites, the population tends to be more uneducated.
@@bobrobertson3558 Great racism there, bud.
Another extraordinary milestone in space exploration, from an incredibly well designed spacecraft. Something every U.S. citizen (and member of the human race) should be proud of.
One has to wonder about the motivations of the hundred-some who "thumbs-downed" this...
If more money was spent on space agencies, humanity could have already developed faster rockets and the necessary space infrastructure to send something much faster into interstellar space. The fact that after so many years there are only two voyagers, is a real shame.
Edward Stone is so happy and proud about the voyager mission. Such a great achievement.
Congratulations NASA !!!
And the instruments still work after 40 years. What a resilience !
The fact that my smart phone has more memory that a NASA satellite amazes me
fatdog14 well it was built in the 70s. Computer science has worked wonders since then.
The voyager 2 craft is going at about 10 miles a second, that’s 35,000 an hour. And it took 41 years to get to interstellar space. And if that doesn’t show some of the insane scale of the universe i don’t know what does
