Once they find that golden record that inside the two Voyagers Earth will get added to the "avoid at all costs" list.

No doubt they can observe our communication systems anyway being possibly billions of years ahead in technology.

If you look at the odds of the being life in the vastness it is pretty high surely other life forms could be far far more advanced than we humans are and in all that vastness there must be places of far greater value than Earth.I have a feeling that the galactic rule is the "primitives" have to make first contact.

For all we know there could be life forms so advanced that they can control the entire universe or our perception of it.

Seriously though according to wiki that last photo posted by Eddie was taken by Voyager 1 back in 1990.

Well Stealhead, with Voyager traveling 23 more years since that photo, I imagine it could get a pic of our sun as a tiny dot, but doubt the earth would be visible!?!

I wonder how Voyager has to go before the signal simply takes too long to get back?

The Enigma · 07-25-13, 03:31 AM

And I keep wondering how do they know that's earth and not some other planet?

If you zoom in close enough you can see the Empire State Building and a few other prominent features.

I don't know, the power supply on Voyager is supposed to be good until around 2025, maybe a little longer. Only a few of Voyagers components are working ATM, others have been powered down to save what little power it generates right now.

I wonder at what point its signal would be too weak for us to detect? I'll have to do some checking on Voyager 2, haven't read anything about it for a while.

I'd think that sign up on Mount Lee would stand out ...

^ That's nothing....there is actually life on Mars if you know the right places to explore...
