David Blue ⁂ ∆@Noctania @wonderofscience I would like to express my wholehearted support for generally repping Voyager I's accomplishments in response to social posts about more recent missions.
@DavidBlue @wonderofscience I only found out about this picture last week in a plea that exploring other planets is no alternative for life on our pale blue dot. It took Voyager 1 36 years to leave our solar system.
