Why do I get the feeling that the first evidence of extraterrestrial life will be sent back from the Voyager 1 space probe?
>>9102627
Perhaps because you're retarded
Because Voyager 1 is the furthest probe I've sent into space and because it's the furthest object we can identify.
What sensors does it even have, that are still active?
>>9102627
Idk why, but you are wrong. Voyager 1 is almost dead with power running on empty, most hardware is turned off, and even if it did have everything on is by no means the most powerful equipment we have in space, making the difficulty for voyager to detect life orders of magnitude harder than any other spacecraft. Finally, voyager 1 is the single most isolated spacecraft we have with regards to proximity to unexplored objects in space with mass.
Voyager has nothing to look at and nothing to look with. It will not find extraterrestrial life.

I think the idea is that alien life will find it.

Finding something that small in the middle of nowhere is next to impossible though. Even if it were detected there'd be no way to know that it isn't just an exocomet.

What if they have star trek tier sensors? We don't know.
Also stupid accidents do happen.
>>9102816
If they could fin it while it drifting near the solar system, or between the stars, then their sensors would be powerful enough to discover activity on Earth itself.

But what about a meeljun years from now?
