I need an eink display on my office wall showing the current location/status. I always get a tremendous sense of wonder and wellbeing thinking about these probes/achievements, maybe it'd help keep me centered before the daily onslaught.


I think you could get away with just printing a status page once every few months.


Or moving a post-it note with a tiny little dot on it.


the current status is that we do not know where it has fared to, according to the title


Unless aliens grabbed it or something hit it, I’m pretty sure we know precisely where it is. What we don’t know is what it’s experiencing there.


Not exactly, the model for the various slowing/drag effects are not known along even its near future course.

Edit: disregard, I think it's probably still measurable, just not as well.


Nono, it's Voyager _6_ that gets destroyed by the Klingons.


I thought 6 was the one that became V'Ger.


It is, and afaik no Voyager probe has been destroyed by the Klingons.


Oh true. It was pioneer 10 that will get destroyed by Klingons. It’s easy to get them mixed up.
