After all this time. Thirty-seven years, to be exact. And, with a push of a button, a flick of a switch, a set of backup thrusters, not used since 1980, have awakened. Your thrusters worked perfectly. Whenever we’ve asked of you, you’ve always delivered. You—Voyager I and II—are two of the biggest inspirations in my life. You’ve given me hope, and promised all of us a brighter tomorrow. Not because of what you’ve achieved, or what you, perhaps, might achieve in the future. But because of all the things you allow humanity to hope for. I believe we will one day reach the stars. I also believe that you will reach them too. Conceivably, before us. I know you’re just metal, and a series of components and mechanisms. But to me, you are so much more. I wish you safe travels. I—the Great American Storyteller—bid you Godspeed. http://www.baltazarbolado.com/golden-record-echo-into-eternity-the-magnificent-journeys-of-voyager-i-and-ii/ https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/2/16727690/nasa-voyager-1-trajectory-correction-maneuver-thrusters-first-time-37-years http://baltazarbolado.com On twitter: https://twitter.com/baltazar_bolado Author of: http://baltazarbolado.com/book/publius-liberatas-aut-mors/ http://baltazarbolado.com/book/paint-black/Magnificent Journey—The Odyssey of Voyager I and II was originally published to baltazarbolado from http://www.baltazarbolado.com/magnificent-journey-the-odyssey-of-voyager-i-and-ii/
