Uncle Sam Posted December 11, 2011 #6 Share Posted December 11, 2011 lol Qapla opps... So Klingons basically fly up to it, fire off four shots, then try to fly away even though there was no indication of a threat? I am guessing they love wasting torpedos on mutliple random celestrial objects... guess their like space trash men who go around blowing up old and useless junk except this one fired back and uh... they basically disappeared.

psyche101 Posted December 12, 2011 #18 Share Posted December 12, 2011 And should keep going until at least 2025. We should get some interesting readings when it has crossed the bowshock. Got the gold-plated audio-visual disc on it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoParanormal Posted December 12, 2011 #20 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Would be awesome to see Real-time video footage from it. Unfortunately that technology didn't exist back then. Still awesome what was accomplished back in '77. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still awesome what was accomplished back in '77. Now that would be something! Imagine running that film compressed down to about 10 hours. I reckon we should fire of a camera and stick it to every passing comet. Then download them on the return path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyche101 Posted December 13, 2011 #23 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hazzard was saying this morning that it would take 17,000 years to make it out to one light year from our solar system. There is a lot to see out there. Mostly nothing, but the bits that do pop up are pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
