To infinity and beyond

35 years later, Voyager 1 is heading for the stars – Yahoo! News.
I am a sucker for a good science fiction story. And when it’s science fact, I get even more tickled.
After spending 35 years in our solar system, the Voyager 1 spacecraft will make human history by becoming the first man-made creation to venture beyond it.
That’s right, folks. Voyager 1 is going interstellar. And soon, we may have data from deep space to go with all the information the Mars rover Curiosity is gathering on the Red Planet.
This is a momentous time for NASA and America‘s space program. Is it as momentous as landing on the moon? Only time will tell.
All I know is we’re one step closer to me finally acquiring the Millennium Falcon! Star Wars, here I come!
My inner nerd awakes…
