For those that didn't see this Thursday... LINK

the 2 Voyager probes are entering interstellar space after 30+ years of traveling. I don't know which is the more amazing story, the fact that we were able to put them together on a fairly short timeline and get them out there, that they did their jobs so well, or that they still stay in touch after all this time.

I just finished THIS book and recommend it highly if you're interested in the background of the early days at JPL.

Fair thee well, little buddies, fair thee well...
