Voyager 1 reaches interstellar space

[Tusk]

That photo sure makes me feel small.

I can handle that, the concept that makes me really start spinning is we are literally looking into the past, the light that reached the lens came from a star/galaxy that likely burned out many millenia ago.

Seems our quest to find life other than our own continues to throw unimaginable, almost impossible to overcome, obstacles in front of us. The old adage comes to mind, The more you learn, the more you realise how little you know

What I mean is, even if we overcome travel, whether by bending physics by traveling (much)faster than the speed of light, wormholes, even teleportation of matter, add to that, the challenge of muscular atrophy from space travel, then looking out using these sensors, analyzing the nature of the captured waves to determine the geological and gaseous make up of planets to see if they can sustain life....

The planets we identify as potentially life supporting, may have gone out of existence aeons ago.....:/

It will take a great shift in the way we view/experience/understand EVERYTHING if there is even a remote chance of achieving the dream of Space exploration, travel and extra terrestrial communication or colonization.



Thanks to guys like Jules Verne, HG Wells, Isaac Asimov and Gene Roddenbery, humanity will never stop trying
