I may have done some of this in my younger days, but now I’m not so sure :anguished_face:

That looks like quite a bit of fun. I could really enjoy doing that.

More than 15 billion miles from Earth, Voyager 1 is still on its lonely voyage through interstellar space. Launched in 1977—when disco filled the airwaves—the probe carries less computing power than a modern calculator, stores data on an 8-track tape system, and runs on FORTRAN code older than most engineers alive today.

So, what keeps it alive?

🔹 Radiation-hardened parts built to endure the extremes.

🔹 Minimalist design—nothing extra to break down.

🔹 Redundant systems ready to take over at a moment’s notice.

Even now, it still whispers home. But every signal takes 22 hours to reach Earth, traveling across the cosmic ocean. Engineers at NASA and JPL depend on 50-year-old blueprints and hand-drawn schematics to troubleshoot and extend its life.

And then there’s the Golden Record—a time capsule of Earth’s sounds, greetings, and music, curated by Carl Sagan’s team. A message for anyone—or anything—that may one day find it.

Voyager 1 is more than just a spacecraft. It’s a testament to human imagination and endurance—proof of what we can achieve when we dream beyond limits and dare to send a message across eternity.

Today handball player Camilla Herrem played this season’s first round in the Norwgian top division in female handball, five days after her last chemotherapy. She played the whole match, scored four goals and her team won.

Respect! :clap: :heart_hands:

Yes, the Chinese! They just know how to do it, and how engineering works, it’s crazy. :clap:

I have to admit, I can barely stand listening to this song anymore… but the video is well done. And you save 193 minutes of the film, but you still get everything important except for the scene in the carriage. :smiley:

Hmm.. anybody want to join her??

Alyssa Carson, a 23-year-old American space enthusiast, is making headlines as she trains with NASA and other space agencies to become one of the first humans to set foot on Mars. Since childhood, she’s been part of various space programs and simulations, including the Advanced PoSSUM Space Academy, showing her deep commitment to space exploration.

While the claim that she’s “not coming back” is speculative, Carson has expressed willingness to be part of long-duration Mars colonization missions — where returning to Earth may not be initially possible. Her journey symbolizes the bold human spirit pushing the boundaries of exploration and science.

That is undoubtedly very courageous.
Nevertheless, it will probably be a long time before that happens. And she is very young. She may change her mind again, if the time ever comes.:thinking:
