Considering it took over 35 years to leave our solar system at a current speed of about 61,500 kph really demonstrates a few things:
  • The reach of our solar system is REALLY big.
  • The fastest speeds we're able to make anything go for a long time are way too slow to reach another star.
  • The timeline of the first Star Trek movie is waaay off (at it's current speed it would take Voyager 2 more than 74,000 years just to reach the star nearest to us). ;-)

If the Nuclear bans of about 50 years ago were to be lifted and Nuclear Pulse Technology was allowed to be advanced they could probably get to the nearest star in about 100 years or less.
If they dont sort out the radioactive waste system it could be a bit of a blower though,lol.Maybe they can throw a catalytic converter on her!

If they had not lost interest after the 'moon race' - we would have already be sunbathing under Centauri sunlight using Solar Sails and a thumping big laser (travel time 43 years, remember to pack fresh underwear).

Yep, I'm always saddened at the loss of progress that could have been made if the politicians hadn't decided it wasn't worth it anymore. 8-(

What I find amazing is that after 35 years and 18,000,000,000 km - Voyager 1 is still phoning home.

LOL @ Daisy 8-D


The latest update says it takes nearly 17 hours for any signal to reach Voyager 1 and I recall hearing something about the signal being so difficult to pick up that is requires rather large dishes pointed in a very precise direction. The fact that there is still two-way communication is pretty cool!
