I wonder how much the orbit has shifted.
It is still in orbit right?



Wow, 50 years since we started to send things away from earth.
I wonder where it will lead.

I believe that little thing fell back to earth a few months after it was launched.
Replaced by a larger version shortly thereafter.

Mars, or worse, unless the aliens get here first. :o
