crookedindifference: “We shouldn’t have long to wait to find out what the space between stars is really like.” The Voyager probes are two of mankind’s greatest achievements, if you ask me. Right now, this symbol of all of humanity has traveled so far from Earth, that light itself takes 16.2 hours to travel the distance. It is entering into unknown scientific territory, where we have only guessed what the universe has in store. Go forth, little one, for you carry all of humanity on your scaffolded shoulders; representing our entire legacy on a very small rock, somewhere out on the edge of a galaxy.
