Voyager 2

[SirUlli]

that is amasing...

Voyager 2 has followed Voyager 1 into the heliosheath, a vast region the far edge of our solar system, and surprised its team with new discoveries, Voyager scientists reported yesterday at the annual fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting being held in San Francisco. Now both of the legendary spacecraft are headed for the real Final Frontier -- interstellar space.

I agree.

And not to get too political, but I guess here's another example of the legitimate scientists being pissed about the mission to Mars:

Despite its achievements and accolades, a little more than two years ago, not long after Voyager 1 crossed the termination shock, NASA was going to pull the plug and shut down all operations in order to cut costs for President Bush's new Vision for Space Exploration.
