US Officials Still Don’t Want the Voyager to Leave Earth: Report
Despite being one of the most iconic spacecraft of all time, US officials still can’t seem to accept that the Voyager might be on its way out of our planet’s atmosphere. According to a new report, officials have been trying to block the historic spacecraft from being sold – somehow, even if it is in a different solar system.
Why All the Fuss Over a 50-Year-Old Spacecraft?
The Voyager has an impressive resume, having completed an incredible journey to the outer reaches of our solar system. It’s sent back high-resolution images of various celestial bodies, made close fly-bys of both Jupiter and Saturn, and proved that true exploration is still possible even with limited resources and manpower.
Though it’s long retired, US officials don’t want to let the Voyager go too far away. After all, it’s a symbol of American scientific ingenuity and invention – and something better be done to preserve it!
The Good News
The good news is that thanks to the efforts of US officials, the sale of the Voyager to a foreign bidder has been indefinitely blocked. However, according to the report, this is just a temporary solution, as the spacecraft is still in danger of being sold to anyone willing to pay.
What’s Next for The Voyager?
It’s unclear what the long-term plans are for the Voyager. US officials will likely continue to do whatever they can to keep it out of foreign hands. But ultimately, the spacecraft has to go somewhere – and you can be sure that it won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
In the meantime, let’s just marvel at what this feat of humanity has achieved – and offer a silent salute to the engineers and scientists who had a hand in it:
- Developed deep space exploration technology.
- Launched into deep space with a limited amount of resources.
- Ran sophisticated experiments along the way.
- Sent back stunning images of space bodies.
So, here’s to the Voyager! We’ll keep you posted on the latest developments.
