NASA Reestablishes Contact With Voyager 2! Where Is It Headed Now? 

LET’S GO VIGER!!!

Tom do you think it is a betrayal to send out to gold discs telling possible alien. Life everything they need to know to invade and destroy the human race as they have given them everything they need to know.did anyone give that a thought to they may not be friendly. and may invade perhaps. this as already started this is why we are seeing more and more strange sightings of creatures and things in the sky. The whole of my town heard trumpets and mechanical found filling up the whole Sky it was absolutely terrifying. we are under invasion already all because of 2 gold discs what is your thought on this I think it is a betrayal and the people that did this should be fed birdseed and put in very small cages as they betrayed the whole human race because they had questions. this is only my opinion I am interested in yours and I do not get offended so just tell me your thoughts if you could thank you.🇦🇺👍

Thank u for serving Humankind.

Really admire your work... Amazing probe ever made🥳🥳🥳🥳💕💕👌💯

Congratulations!!! You should be proud.

One day, humanity may progress so much that it will be reasonable for us to send missions to retrieve these craft, to be reunited with humanity.

@@gravoc857 bro that would be insane

What a thing to imagine. Very sad but beautifully articulated

Well the good news is that it's metal and doesn't have emotions so I'm sure it's fine.

I too am deeply saddened when my phone runs out of charge. Sitting in my pocket in complete darkness being unable to illuminate while its jostling around with my wallet. I only take solice in knowing when I plug it in, it takes a few moments to itself as if to simultaneously question why I have failed it and take a much needed break.

@David S Onassis Yooooooooo you watched it leave earth, sooooo lucky!

I always think about the` Star Trek movie` when i see this sort of you tube clip,,,,

I consider myself lucky too, got to watch the lead up to and the moon landings . I saw all the launches from viking, mariner, gemini and apollo missions to the Columbia disaster , I hope I live long enough to see Elon Musk succeed with people on Mars

@David S Onassis I was in junior high school when the voyeger ships were launched.Never in my wildest imaginations did i think they would be still going,a lesson for all about building an design done right

@@algladyou Minor correction. Humans are virus infecting 🌎. Also thinking about infecting new planets.

Space is real? I thought.....

Especially considering how hostile outer space is to computers. And how primitive those ones are.

@@Poppa_Capinyoaz yeah I think this is another one of NASA's many lies. The intense radiation of Interstellar space would of cooked any electronics made in early 70's. Doubt even now we have materials that could last long in deep space. Let alone tec made in the 70's pre dating the Super Nintendo... NASA, Never A Straight Answer

@@Poppa_Capinyoaz possibly they were so overbuilt in those days. A bit like Oak Ridge and Hanford which have survived long enough to really cause trouble.

True but I think we should revisit the mission with our technology

@@fredrodriguez7220 Why? Re-exploring the same place would be pointless

@@HAMZA_OLYMPUS With that logic Going to the moon was pointless at the first place, Space isn't A logical or profitable thing yet, We are doing it just because we Believe it someday will be.

@@buzzshocker1069 this man gets space travel

@@fredrodriguez7220 A new mission probably but the real problem is making a plutonium battery is more of a political problem than a technical problem at any level. Our technology has increased beyond but our cognition has stunted to partisan biases.

That's an outstanding analysis, you make this easy to understand, thank you. Southampton UK.

Props to H. De Jong for being amazing

Mon oh man

Thank you!!!

Thanks! BTW, "tape recorder" is still running? Wow.

They were engineered to not last. planned obsolescence

It's not complicated to understand; it's really quite simple. The two Voyager probes WERE NOT MADE IN CHINA! The technology is American, not Chinese. So is the quality.

@@theloneranger8725 except for Chryslers

You do realize it is a completely different use case. Are you still using electronic technology from the 1970's? of course and why not. It goes without saying that the electronics we send into space are designed to last a very long time since one can't retrieve it to repair and the cost is not an issue.

@@theloneranger8725 That is a silly response.

What more, by the time other intelligent life discovers that probe, we humans might be extinct at that time already or have moved to a different planet/star system. Making it impossible for the other life who discovered it to communicate back to us

@@acdp61 now that sounds like a cool sci-fi book: about someone from another planet far in the future finding it and starting the search to see where we are now and IF we still are.

Yet can't reach the moon currently....

It will probably be us just recovering it in the future

I Hope soon that aliens will soon find it and come to earth maybe that has already happened and that is how we got the signal from the vigor

They made it to the moon with the processing power of a pocket calculator. Let that sink in

We can't. The entire purpose of the voyager program was to take advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime planetary alignment to explore the outer solar system (occuring only every 173 years). Besides, the purpose of the voyager program was never to "explore outside the solar system". That was just a byproduct of the ACTUAL purpose, which was to do a "quick sightseeing tour" flyby of he outer planets. And the voyager mission objective is now largely irrelevant, since we have transitioned to longer term orbiting probes of the outer planets (like the Cassini probe for Saturn & the Juno probe for Jupiter). All that said, NASA launched New Horizons in 2006 to specifically do a fly-by of Pluto (which occured in 2015) and some other Kuiper belt objects. It is now in the Kuiper belt, more than 50AU away.

they made it to the fucking moon and back when pocket calculators were so cutting edge that they weren't readily available for mass consumption. Truly incredible.

Crazy isn’t it?

Depends if we’d exist around that time.

1 bit is 1/8 of a byte so that movie aint coming down in 8 years

Thanks for all the upvotes and the heart.

Ok big head

Yeees, I always get so sad thinking about the Opportunity Rover for example. How it ran out of battery power because of a dust storm and no contact could be established anymore. It really makes me sad. 😅

Made me think of star trek. The voyage home. So fitting

But for the price and maintainence of one of these, you get 10,000 icemakers all making ice. It is all about where you choose to spend your money.

@@MrStupidHead maintenance? they cant maintenance these

@@basvanderwerff2725 the ongoing cost for mission control. Call it maintenance support systems if you like.

Then think about how big we are to the smallest things. Humans are about half way in size from the smallest thing in the universe to the observable universe.

I mean we are little now but in the near future everything will change

exactly. and belive it or not there are people on this planet that don't even know all these things even exist. They think its just earth, sun and the moon. trust me I asked someone in Afghanistan one day and they didn't know about anything. I asked how much the sun is bigger than the earth and the guy was like "I heared its like 2 times bigger than earth" lol

@@zabiarayyan7056 you can about fit 100 earths surface in the suns surface

Plutonium will do that for you.

me

Me too

Fcked i read the channel as Disney 😵😆😆 i was confused why would Disney upload a NASA thing.

Ummmmmm, yes. Thats why we subscribe 🙂

I do

Nor did it photograph Uranus. It was meant to get close-up photos of Titan, so after that it was hurled out of the ecliptic.

indeed lmao

Smart phones can already do anything that people need of them

@@tankourito5419 Kinda true because now smartphone companies only competes by camera, processing,and designs. Almost no new features.

I was just about to sayt that bout "self-driving" cars.

Smartphones are optimized for completely different things - mainly price. We _could_ build a phone that has a battery life of 2 weeks and will last for 50 years - but nobody could afford it, making it a completely useless endeavour.

Most of them are dead. I was around 26 when these were launched. Now I'm 70.

From Bapatla I am reading your comment

Your 2nd sentence reminds me of a documentary about far reaches of the solar system.

@@r.a.6459 🤣😂🤣 hope that's a good thing. I think

They're not satellites, they are deep space probes. The problem with new tech is that a lot of them are not made with that sort of reliability and robustness. Part of their longevity is due to the simplicity and sturdiness of the compenents, and the plutonium fuel to keep it active.

@@shrimpflea thank you for pointing that out. They're probes

Yeah and trump totally won the second election. And the earth isn't flat.

It would be nearly impossible. We could travel faster than it but having hundreds of billions of kilometers of a lead would be so mind bogglingly hard to catch up to.

Imagine us becoming so advanced that we acquire the technology to travel at the speed of light, or at least closer to it than these two probes

I think about how different things were in the US at the time... and how screwed up we've become! A bunch of idiots will most likely vote to confirm another idiot to the supreme court... one that cannot even define what a woman is! We put men on the moon in the equivalent of a spam can. Now? People believe that men can be women and vice-versa! Lord save us all!!! 🤦‍♂️🙄😠

We’ll likely be type 2 in 3,000 years, if we survive. Type 3, we’re looking at an aggressive estimate of 2-5 million years. Likely longer to become a full type 3. Unless we make extreme paradigm shifts in our understanding of physics.

Eh millions of years seems too long. Maybe A million.

Wcould totally explore and utilize the power of our galaxy in less than a million years.

@@mitchellscanga747 I agree. Look how far we’ve come in only 100 years. Even a thousand years into the future will probably supersede our current imagination. You never know…

@@JMazzaTaz Exactly and its going at an exponential rate.

Watch the first Star Trek movie...

I think I also beg some questions about what's happened since.

To think about coming within 1.7 light years of a nearest star is mind blowing... the probes haven't even nowhere near that distance since launchday. At their current speeds, it'll take 17000-19000 years to cover a light-year. But hey, we or our childrens or our childrens' childrens can have its 100-year anniversary, set the date for 2077!!

@@r.a.6459 Our descendants, lol, not our ancestors.😉 We'll be the ancestors by then.

@@abelis644 thanks for spotting!!

I did 4th grade too. It was hella easy. It only took me 2 tries.

money.

@@mrhg123 One of the reasons is money 100%, but there are other reasons, too. like it is no longer a priority for some reason.

@@nmjgd4083 carefull the truth is potentially dangerous to your mind. Literally.

@@nmjgd4083 cold war dude

Money is not the issue. Come on we build bombs that are more expensive than that device, and drop them regularly on other human beings.

Now a man your age has died

Indeed. Wouldn't it be ironic if an intelligent Species found a Voyager, and decided to return it only to discover we had nuked ourselves into oblivion.🙄

@@b3j8 LMFAO 😂😅

No, they are far too small to be seen from ~20 billion km away.

@@fromnorway643 They're really bright in the IR though (2 kW power source). A radio telescope can see Voyager's 20W transmission. It'll be close to the edge of what JWST can see, but I think it's possible.

@@h.dejong2531 A 2 kW heat source visible from ~20 billion km away? I don't think so. If that energy is emitted as IR in all directions, the energy intensity or density as received here on Earth would be about 4 x 10¯²⁵ watts per square metre. For comparison, the faintest stars visible by the Hubble - after _very_ long exposures - are about magnitude 30, corresponding to roughly 2.5 x 10¯²⁰ watts per square metre at the receiving end. That's about 60,000 times brighter than the IR radiation from Voyager, and it's worth noting that the collecting area of the JWST is only about 6 times larger than that of the Hubble (25.4 m² vs 4 m²), not 60,000. Radio telescopes receiving the telemetry from space probes are much larger and thus much more sensitive than any existing or planned optical telescope.

No.

@@h.dejong2531 no, they’re far too small.

We have no indication that the edge of the observable universe is the end of the universe.

If only they hadn't thrown out the technology that got us to the moon hmmm

And women too...🙄

@@abelis644 And children. And animals.

Yeah reminds me of 9/11

It was a mapping and turn for the antenna signal. Neither we nor Voyager are in the region of the galaxy that was on the initial program life of reaching Neptune and Uranus.

@@STho205 thank you🙏

Thats because in space there are almost no thing that can damage a probe and its powered by nuclear reactor

specially if a civilization find it and don't know what's plutonium and open just the wrong component and kill some.

For me it was just truly fascinating....we are a mere microscopic product of randomness...thats what boggles my mind ....

I was just talking about that movie with my coworker. That was one of the coolest episodes. It would be absolutely incredible if we were able to catch up to these probes one day.

I sometimes wonder if Life isn't far more than we imagine.

@SEQ Virtual Tours says your mom, have u ever heard about warpdrives ?

@SEQ Virtual Tours virtual tours more like gay tours

No

Imagine how small a dust molecule is considering the size of the universe.

imagine inside that molecule is an entire universe

@@jerry4012 put that to perspective, think of how tiny our blood cell and compare it to our earth i think that might be good example

All that and our sun is tiny. Hell our galaxy is tiny it’s so surreal and interesting

What if we're all just little particles in an eye ball of a creature just bumbling about and we call it the universe?

Thousands of years from now, hopefully, we can find our little friend, and take it further in our starship.

Already been done. Didn't you see the first Star Trek movie? Ask Bill Shatner; he'll tell you all about it.

I think those cosmic rays Voyager detected outside the bubble will destroy both ships
