Computer components that can last 47 years and withstand extreme temps is just as amazing as the distance the two probes have traveled.
-
I love how 1970's NASA engineers designed a craft with multiple, long-term redundancies for a mission that was only 'supposed' to have lasted 3 years.

""My battery is low and it's getting dark."" ~ Opportunity on June 10, 2018 Imagine the entire world fall into mourning when one of the Voyagers share its last words... By the way, NASA did send a replay to this little rover: "I'll find you in the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon But I'll be seeing you"
-
Mom worked for a company that built the circuit boards for Voyager, Apollo and the shuttles before computers were installed. Like to think something her hand touched and built is still working out there!
-
I admit, I am old enough to remember 8-Track Tapes. I am older than both Voyagers too. I was born just before the first Moon Landing. So I truly appreciate and am awed by the Voyager's still being alive as it were. A testament to Humans thirst for knowledge and capacity to create things to gather that knowledge.
-
Born in '74, I was a child absolutely fascinated by their discoveries. I so miss watching Carl Sagan on PBS Nova shows... Thank you, Astrum. You're helping carry forward a legacy of exploration to new generations :)
-
This was fantastic! I'm 70 years old and have been aware of this the whole time. This was eye-opening, what a magnificent feat!
-
The pale blue dot speech by Sagan will never fail to bring me to tears.
-
I do think that Carl Sagan's pronouncement on the "pale blue dot", needs to be emblazoned at every school's entrance, anywhere on this planet, in as many languages as necessary. and a few other places as well.
-
'Saturn could lose its rings in 300 million years' Ill set my alarm, dont want to miss that 😁
-
I remember my browser homepage was set to the NASA voyager tracker for YEARS. It was something my father and I bonded on, and those two missions started a lifelong interest in our solar system and eventually space
-
I was in the womb when these launched. Being a kid, and seeing these photos on tv and on the cover of a newspaper were awe inspiring to me. It was the start of my love affair with astronomy and cosmology.
-
Really shows how empty space really is when these probes have been traveling at a ludicrous speed for decades and have yet to hit anything big enough to cause any serious damage.
-
Something which isn't mentioned here concerning Neptune's visualisation/depiction in this video is the fact that images of Neptune which were released by NASA were colour-tweaked in order to show atmospheric system details, by rendering the planet in a much deeper blue colour than it actually is. In reality, Neptune is practically the same colour as its twin gas giant, Uranus. They are both a frosty aqua or cyan colour, and are practically visually indistinguishable from each other.
-
I am older than the Voyager probes - even listened to the radio signals from Sputnik 1. Your channel really keeps my enthusiasm in keeping up to date. This particular supercut is tremendous and as usual, your commentary is a pleasure to hear in this time of horribly edited AI commentaries. Your personalisation of the probes is so fitting!
-
Born in 1943, I was a shocked teen when Sputnik-1 was launched. I watched in awe all that followed. I'm still here being amazed at what was done with so little by the incredibly bright individuals that formed the teams that made all this possible.
-
My father designed the integrated circuit boards that went into Voyager 1 and 2. He was still alive when they announced that V1 would be leaving the solar system. He went on to work for private first to help develop manufacturing techniques that could mass produce them and be used in consumer electronics. He was quite often a righteous prick, but he was a fucking smart one.
-
Imagine for a minute what we could learn from launching 2 more, with todays technology..
-
To me, Astrum IS PROBABLY THE BEST DOCUMENTARY. YOUR VOICE IS CALM AND EASY TO UNDERSTARND, the special effects are great. and above all, I feel that a human being is talking to me. NOT AI.
-
Voyager 2 launch completes 47 years today! What a tribute Alex!!😍
