Stop Voyger 1 before it is too late!

“Voyager 1 is nearing the edge of the solar system.

Since 2004, the unmanned probe has been exploring a region of space where the solar wind slows abruptly and crashes into the thin gas between stars.

NASA said recent readings show the solar wind has slowed to zero, meaning the spacecraft is getting ever closer to the solar system's edge.

It'll take about four more years before Voyager 1 completely exits the solar system and enters interstellar space.”

V'Ger is so sparkly, like X-mas!

 

So what does all this mean? Well that Star Trek the Motion Picture might be coming true, kind of true. Does anyone even remember that film? V’Ger was trolling around the glaxy causing problems. Star Fleet sends to Enterprise to check it out. Seems the probe Voyager 6; got damaged, ran amuck of some alien machine race, got fixed, kept learning, became sentient and having learned all it can, needs some help from the “creator” to finish stuff. Sounds awesome, well it isn’t the best , but without this movie they might not made Wrath of Khan (the good Star Trek movie). Anyway…..


Sure it was Voyager 6 in the movie and not our Voyager 1. Sure it hasn’t broke down or met an alien race of machines, but once it leaves the solar system it might. So hooray! We might one day be faced with our own V’Ger. Hopefully, Star Fleet will be in place by then to deal with it.
