Spacecraft approaches 'end' of solar system

Probe hits the solar system’s frontier
Has Voyager passed beyond the edge? That’s under debate

Nov. 5 — Voyager 1 has phoned in from the edge of the solar system to let us know what it’s like out there. Now scientists are arguing over whether the 26-year-old spacecraft has really reached a telltale and important boundary.

Very interesting! Funny how, when they launched those things, they could put a man on the moon or send a vessel to explore the solar system (complete with gold record!

), but we still had rotary phones, manual calculators, and punch-card computers.

That's a pretty good feat for 30+ year old technology.
