Stone Voyager

In 1977 NASA launched two unmanned probes and named them Voyager I and Voyager 2. The lead project scientist was named ED STONE.

Voyager 1 is getting very close to leaving our solar system and entering DEEP SPACE. Ed Stone is still monitoring the information that is being sent by a 1977 computer program and eight-track tapes.

Yeah....eight-track tapes!

What really amazes me is that we haven't launched updated probes with the latest technology.

I'm surprised Google hasn't sent one just to add to their incredible Google Earth site.

Mr. Stone isn't quite sure when Voyager 1 will enter Deep Space but he thinks it can happen within the next four or five years.

The edge of our solar system is determined by the fact that our sun's cosmic wind finally stops blowing.

The interstellar wind that is blowing in Deep Space will prove to be a major breakthrough in trying to understand how the universe operates.....maybe.

Voyager 1 is currently about 11 billion miles from earth. It has a device called a cosmic-ray spectrometer that will hopefully send back information about the interstellar happenings.

And then the eight track tape era will officially.....end.

I just think it's very apropos that Stone and 8 track tapes still work in harmony to create good vibes and groovy happenings.

Peace OUT
