It's already in the Milky Way isn't it ?

What a fantastic achievement. Well done to all concerned. It goes to show what can be done when things are done to a specification rather than a price.

if we are in the milky way, where was voyager?


It is a bid for immortality.
i wonder if they could upload a copy of someones dna?
Being born again into an alien civilisation billions of years from now would be curious.

Indeed- stark contrast with a typical products released nowadays- they weren't able to fire off a beta version then add bits and fixes as it went. 68k memory and an 8 track tape!
