I find this quite amazing.
Voyager 1 continues to observe the farthest corners of the solar system.
Launched in 1977 and still working. In fact it's only because it's nuclear powerplant is running out of fuel that means it will shut down soon.
Say what you like about old technology, it certainly lasts.

Voyager is amazing. IIRC, it was incredible luck to get the alignment of the planets for slingshot purposes when they did - a window that could so easily have been missed. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
