Laughing. I feel your pain. We have all been there at one point or another.

In all seriousness, the exploits of the voyager series of probes is nothing short of astounding. The scientists and engineers who envisioned and put together some of these early probes like the Voyager series with the inherent limitations of the technology of their times were and are absolutely brilliant. Of course, newer probes are more advanced.

Closer to home, kinda. I have watched video's of the Cassini-Huygen and Juno probes to our Gas Giants planets, Saturn and Jupiter, respectively and their moons. Cassini released the probe Huygen into the environment and atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon, Titan. Huygen transmitted data and video for almost an hour.

The technology and successes that have been made with Voyager have fueled and propelled more advanced probes that continue to explore our Solar System and beyond.
I included some of the Youtube links to the Cassini and Juno missions. I hope our scientifically minded Subsim members and readers enjoy them.
