Let's discuss something weird. All of you probably know

>>14882698
Wasn't it propelled by this super-weak system that was supposed to last a long ass time?

Or am I thinking of something else?

>>14882698
>Voyager 1 is accelerating, and the cause is unknown.

Yeah, Where did you get that information?

>>14882731
look out we got sci here!
oh shit!

>the door is over there retard

>>14882720
it was propelled the gravity of the gas giants. and the solar wind from the sun. I don't get where op has the idea that it is speeding up. it has actually slowed down. because it is now out of reach of the solar winds of the sun

What is VGER from Star Trek the Motion Picture?

>cause is unknown
Actually it uses and ion propulsion system, so yeah.

>>14882720
Voyager has an array of hydrazine RCS thrusters, but they are not used for propulsion, only reorientation. They still have enough fuel to keep the craft stable for a few more decades. After that, only electric gyroscopic methods of reorientation will remain.

>>14882868
So this begs the question. What's the point of it even being there? What else will it encounter? We know there are no other planets around for Voyager to photograph.

>>14882876
No, you're begging the question. It's toast, so we're sending it off in to space. There's no mystery to it, there's no covert operations, no illuminati rituals, no paranormal spooknicity. It's the easy thing to do and for some of us the thought of it drifting far after we're gone is a nice one.

>>14882820
Voyager 1 definitely does NOT have an ion thruster.

>>14882698
Actually, the Voyager acceleration anomaly's been explained. The heat distribution from the nuclear generators causes a slight imbalance of thermal emission. The this tiny imbalance in infrared photon emission causes an equally tiny net force. And that force turns out to be juuuust the right size to explain the difference in velocity.

Inspirational.

>>14882741
Why would it be slowing down in an environment where there is virtually no friction?

>>14882885
lol what if it crashes into the alien capital and starts a intergalactic war

>>14883167
Not exactly slowing down. more like no longer being propelled. because a lack of solar wind pushing against it

>>14883173
Why would aliens start a war with aliens in another galaxy after being provoked by us?

>>14882814
/thread

>>14883281
no theyd start it wirh us it wouldnt be immediate but theyd know about aliens (us) and fear and resent aliens (us) and when we do meet itll be the first in the long line of what will come to be known as the Intergalactic Voyager of War.

and we will be known as Voyagers due to them finding a debris of the Voyager that says "Voyager".

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

>>14883167
There are still stray atoms in interstellar space.

Over time, something as small as Voyager will totally slow down.

>>14883321
1. Any aliens with interstellar capabilities could stop a satellite that size from doing any actual damage

2. Any aliens with interstellar capabilities would have "evolved" beyond feelings like xenophobia

>>14882698
>Voyager 1 is accelerating
[citation needed]

>>14882698
>Voyager is accelerating

No it isn't. You're thinking of the Pioneer Anomaly:

>>14885139
>2. Any aliens with interstellar capabilities would have "evolved" beyond feelings like xenophobia
Why on Earth do people always assume this?

>>14885139
Yeah because past a certain point everything becomes a wheatgrass drinking hippie, right?!?

>>14885139
no, im saying the satelite crashes before they have interstellar capabiltities retard and its like their 9/11

>>14885162
because they think having low species esteem (all aliens are better than us humanity is SO unevolved) makes them seem intellectually.

little do they know its just their retardition showing.

>Though it was designed to last until 2025, many of its subsystems were supposed to shut down much, MUCH earlier. However, they somehow managed to remain operational.

Are you actually retarded?

>>14885175
not him, I think that the whole "evolved beyond xenophobia thing is stupid too, just

>retardition

>>14885164
That's entirely right, seeing as this point is subjective

>>14885169
The Human race will be long dead by the time Voyager hits anything

>>14885139
fine. they're alerted to the existence of a dna resource, aspie.

who wants to party with /sci/?

>>14885181
I'd expect they evolve past compassion for any intrlligence developed shy of a certain threshold.

>>14883173
If it hit a planet, nobody would notice. It'd just burn up in the atmosphere.

Not at all true. Life can exist under the surface, thrive off space radiation, and there's so many combinations of planets, we might learn one day that... I dunno, a geyser jizzing from one planet onto another as the two orbit together creates a spot where life can thrive, no atmosphere necessary, just random element combinations.

I don't know what you're talking about backtracking, that was the first post I've made in this thread.

That also doesn't answer the question.

We don't know of any current planets with intelligent life. The likelihood of voyager crashing into one of those and not just crashing into a random dead rock is pretty low.

>>14885519
what if the surface is ice, and the voyager busts a hole into it. We just exposed a whole alien race to space. It might be a civilization changing event.

Can we quit this talk about the Voyager probe accidentally destroying alien shit and starting a war?

The rock that formed the Arizona crater was about as large as Voyager *when it landed*

It's wishful thinking to imagine ANY part of Voyager touching down on any planet with an atmosphere.

If it's found by aliens, then said aliens will most likely see it coming first and retrieve it.

>>14885836
>most likely see it coming
Something that small

>>14885839
I said *if* it's found.

If they don't see it coming then it either drifts in space until it reaches something else or burns up in their atmosphere.

How had it not been wrecks by space dust/garbage/rocks?

>>14885849
Luck.

Once you get to interstellar space you're pretty much in the clear, though. No rocks or dust out there to really get in the way.

>>14885849

Space is fucking massive, so massive that the chances of you getting hit by some stray object is insanely low. You could navigate through an asteroid field blind folded and with no computing system.

Except I do, and I'm not even a Marine Biologist. Diving is just my hobby.

>I'm a marine biologist that lives nowhere near the ocean

Why would I drag heavy equipment round with me when I can keep it at the marine biology shack?

Ok, back on topic, its not that hard to believe that voyager still works, the rover on mars still works, and it was only supposed to work for 6 months. Given the amount of pieces that have to work together, I would not be surprise if builders stayed conservative with some parts lifespans to garner support to beef up other parts.

Im placing my bet that the human race gets almost completely wiped out within 1000 years. It bounces back as usual and within 10000 years the new human civilization is capable of interstellar travel far beyond our current measure. They will find voyager still within our galaxy and consider it to be of alien origin, having no concept of NASA or the previous age of men. It will be hilarious.
