Space Trivia

Heh, some people don't realize how big space is.  Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 is the farthest object away from the Sun that we have ever sent.  It is moving at a velocity of 17,060 m/s (61,400 km/h; 38,200 mph) and after 35 years is currently .002 light years out.  Which means that if it was pointed to the Proxima Centauri (~4 light years away), it would arrive >70,000 years from now.

"It is the 71st Millenium.  In the grim darkness of the far future, something has happened to the Emperor and Imperium of Man as a little speck of manufactured materials drifts onwards through interstellar space, hoping its solar panels will work when it gets somewhere so it can power up again."


Heh, I wonder if God is laughing at us....
