Default Voyager 1 Discovers Bizarre and Baffling Region at Edge of Solar System

Might be of interest to you:

Voyager seems to be the most "bang for the buck" probe ever sent into space...

One day we will launch Voyager 6, and it will return as V´Ger.

Lonely, cold and far from home Voyager 1 is. This piece of technology from decades ago might surprise us yet.

Some years ago, I had the opportunity to see an actual Mercury space capsule up close. I looked into the astronaut's cockpit and was surprised by how relatively primative the technology used at the time was compared with today. Granted, the Voyager was launched about a decade and a half after the first Mercury launches, but the techology was still "sticks and stones" compared to now. The continued operation of the Voyagers is a monument and tribute to the quality and genius of those early engineers and scientists...
