I remember them building the voyagers when I was a kid. The previous time this alignment occured, Thomas Jefferson was president and he totally blew it. We were nowhere near ready for anything like this, but if we missed the day, we missed it for 176 years, so we took the very best we could make, and went for it. The spacecraft were amazing with the nuclear power and the three computers constantly double checking each others results. It was totally epic. It really felt like we were one species, on our way to greatness

My iPhone 11 Pro Max didn’t even last a full 3 years before it became unusable. Meanwhile voyager 1 and 2 are still kicking out in interstellar space

Thank you for your recitation of Carl Sagan's words about the Pale Blue Dot. He was the scientist that got me so into astronomy as a child.

Pale blue dot and Hubble ultra deep field pictures are among the most iconic ever taken

I’m a Voyage kid! I remember watching the launches with my father and watching the all of the media fanfare around every planetary encounter. I wish my dad was alive to experience the James Webb Space Telescope so the Voyagers will always be my favorite!

I was pleased to see this a kid that grew up in the '80s when Voyager reaching Uranus and Neptune was front page news, I often come back to the Voyager missions and contemplate where they stand among mankind's greatest achievements. In the '90s I remember for the cost of postage writing to NASA and getting the planetary fact sheets back, only to find them changing year after year as we learned more and more about the number of moons, temperatures, and other things about our outer planets.

The Voyager stories are truly fascinating - from that moment when it was realised that there was an alignment, to today when we still keep track of their fate...wishing them on, further and further into our stellar next-door.

On short notice a hiking friend nearly canceled a backpacking trip in the canyons of Utah. He had just discovered a moon of Saturn from the Voyager data and needed to stick around for press releases before he left. The last time he had discovered a moon of Saturn he went on vacation and his boss had to field all the press calls. His boss insisted he handle all the calls before vacation.

Carl Sagan's soliloquy on the Pale Blue Dot still soothes my soul. 😊
Wonderful video!

The Pale Blue Dot image gives us a great perspective of our space in the universe, but those models of the probes' trajectories give me a whole new perspective on time. Watching the path the probes take along with the date indicator, I see the year of my birth come up, and then my childhood flash by, all on just one segment of Voyager 2's trajectory. Our lives are microscopic and precious on this scale.

I would love a video about what we’ve learned from the voyager probes since the end of their original missions - the fact that they’re out there still chugging along all these years later, still telling us things, and as far from home as any human thing has ever been is so remarkable!

[lealoo]

I'm always happy to see a new video from Astrum! In August of 1977, my first child was six months old the Voyagers were launched. So amazing to me that these two are still going and sending back data. Really gives perspective on the technology used on these craft.

[MarcusWolfWanders]

these probes have been operating in space since before I was born, and doing amazing science on top of that. I will forever be in awe of the people who put them out there, and will forever mourn their loss when they do finally go dark.

I saw the news report of when the lady technician saw the active volcano erupting on Io!! I was a Senior in high school, and I was just gob-smacked, it was so awesome!

[padawanmage]

I remember as an 8 year old kid, watching Nova on PBS and oogling all the pictures of the moons of Jupiter. To this day, I still keep up with news on those probes.
A small nitpick: the 'Earthrise' photo had been taken by Bill Anders on Apollo 8.

idk how to say it but
It was very scared for my exams
I saw THE PALE BLUE DOT image
And boy did my tention felt small
Everything is sooo big in space
My worries are meaning less
My promise to the outer space and its beauty is
Ill never worry about anything past the point it hurts me
SPACE IS A W

I find the journey of Voyager 1 and 2 endlessly fascinating!

[OctorokSushi]

Makes me feel so thankful there were so many smart, hard working people who figured out there would be this alignment and took advantage of it. Because of that we got to see things no other human has seen before, it's so incredible! To think how many people have existed on earth before me and how most of them never got to see these things, even the most wealthy kings and queens couldn't get the privilege. But I do simply for being born in the right place at the right time to witness the effort and achievements of people amazing enough to make missions like this possible. What an absolute blessing.

This video sure took me deep into the universe, far far away from home. Like back to the nature where it’s always evolving, No greed, no fight, no evil & just timeless. If that’s the eternal life, I’ll take it. Thank you to all the scientists who continuously bring us the new fantastic new frontier in space. Thank you for this program and video.

I would love to go back in time, to bring Sir Isaac Newton to our times - imagine how proud he would be, watching us use his equations to explore the solar system - gobsmacked is an understatement, we only learnt how to fly a 'plane just over 100 years ago - humans are AMAZING!
