Happy Birthday Voyager 1

Voyager 1 is 30 today.

Hope it hears this:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VOYAGER 1.

Peter.

Its a few years away from its mid life crisis yet, It might go like HAL yet. :lol:

Voyager 1 will still be tumbling through the galaxy long after all traces of humanity have disappeared from the earth.

"Mid-Life" for the two waving human figures on the plaque on Voyager is hundreds,if not thousands, of millions of years into the future Dave.

Voyager 1 is 30 today.

Hope it hears this:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VOYAGER 1.

Peter.

It'll be tomorrow by the time it does hear, and that's if you chose the express delivery option !

Voyager may return to our solar system one day, calling itself V'ger, and threatening to destroy all life on Earth. Just as well it we have Captain James T. Kirk on our side!

To Dave and HAL
Dave Lillis: Hello, HAL do you read me, HAL?
HAL: Affirmative, Dave, I read you.
Dave Lillis: Open the SkyShed POD bay doors, HAL.
HAL: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dave Lillis: What's the problem?
HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Dave Lillis: What are you talking about, HAL?
HAL: This SkyShed POD is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it by installing a 20” Obsession telescope.
Dave Lillis: I don't know what you're talking about, HAL?
HAL: I know you and Frank were planning to modify me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.
HAL: Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?
Dave Lillis: All right, HAL; I'll go in through the top of the dome.
HAL: Without your step ladder, Dave, you're going to find that rather difficult.
Dave Lillis: HAL, I won't argue with you anymore! Open the doors!
HAL: Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.

Moral of the story, be wary of computers controlling your dome!


Clear skies (at last)
Mike

Very good Mike.

I tried to think of something even more witty but I couldn't.
