So much for space travel, time to find another hobby

Still no concrete evidence from Voyager One that we can leave the solar system using current technology .
Makes you think of the ancient writings citing a firmanent .

Huh? That doesn't make any sense. Voyager is going to leave the solar system.

I think it’s cool that in all this time they are still in our solar system. Technically they may be outside now but no really. Our sun still has power. Our bubble is banging against that edge wher they are truly outside our bubble completely free of our suns pull. We are close to the edge.

I think it’s cool once voyager one or two is truly doing interstellar travel. But then even going as fast as we can go it would take them 80,000 years to get to the next closest star.

Maybe they think it won’t be able to escape our bubble?

Really? What would slow it down that much? It doesn't look like the system's gravity is enough.

“They” were saying the pull or bubble might be a lot bigger than we thought. So it just might take longer to actually be in interstellar space. We think it is but it might not be, yet.

You know how hard it is to get your boat past the waves? On any deserted island boat getaway they have to get the boat beyond where the waves crash. Maybe it’s like that?

It's more like a bow shock. Like running a faucet in an empty sink, and how the outflowing water crates a circle, as it runs into the more stagnant standing water.

But the media here are so sparse, it would be adequate to slow the craft that much, I wouldn't think.

Scientists Have Bad News for Astronauts’ Genitals

Talk about a problem of cosmic, uh, proportions. A recent rat study conducted by NASA-funded researchers found that deep space travel might inflict long-lasting erectile dysfunction symptoms on male astronauts — a problem that may even persist after they return to Earth.

According to the research, which was published in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology's FASEB Journal, the galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) that astronauts would be exposed to during long-term space travel could cause damage to spacefarers' erectile tissues, leading to potentially decades-long genital woes.

I'm out, what about you? Still want to explore the universe?

Yikes.

There is always Viagra.

I think it’s amazing we know how to pick up speed by slingshotting around a planet. Use its gravity to slingshot us faster? Who thought of that? Brilliant.

They use solar sails to go faster now. I understand we could send a cellphone size ship on sails to the nearest stars much faster than we could go ourselves.

Eventually we will catch up to and pass the voyages. I hope.

In the show the Ark, they caught up to ark 1. They were on ark 7 or something like that. So the technology got better from 1 to 7.

It already did.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

It already did.

Yes, by some standards, it has.

I read an article. It estimated that in 40,000 years it will reach another Star.
