UPDATE (Voyager 1 Hears Hum Outside Our Solar System):

Batteries lasting 48 years, developed in the 1970s? And I have to change batteries in my smoke alarm every six months? What's up with that?

The fact that Voyager is almost a light day away is pretty amazing.

Imagine its us 10,000,000 years later on another planet intercepting the voyager 1 probe but having no memory of the past so our own probe would be alien to us

I read many years ago that a function was held in 1983, to mark the occasion when Pioneer 10, the first Jupiter probe, launched on March 2, 1972, passed a greater distance than the orbit of Neptune, at that point more distant than Pluto, because of Pluto's more elliptical orbit, and was considered to have exited the solar system. A NASA official asked the CEO of TRW Systems, Inc., the contractor which built the spacecraft, whether Pioneer 10 was still under warranty. His reply was, 'Yes. You return the spacecraft to the factory and we'll fix it.'

I believe there was a movie about it coming back, it was called Star Trek The Motion Picture and it changed it's name to v'ger!

A lonely voyager on an endless flight...perhaps in time,the only evidence that we ever existed.

A great example of Betteridge's law of headlines: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."

Watched it again tonight, Voyager 1 and 2 left the ecliptic plane in different directions, With Voyager 2 going below and Voyager 1 going above, they are destined to wander the Cosmos forever, God Bless you Carl Sagan, we will never forget! God Bless The Universe!!

V’eger is coming back. Kirk knows.

"Voyager has transmitted over 5 Trillion bits of information!"

"Is Voyager 1 Coming Back To Earth?"

I'll give points to the trekkies for remembering that movie, however it coming back was not included and is one of the reasons the golden record was included with it at launch.

Misleading title, not cool. "Could we bring Voyager 1 back to Earth?" "What would it take to..." "How could we..." But this title implies that something odd is going on and Voyager somehow isn't on an escape trajectory.

Don't worry. VGer is coming back in a few centuries.

Yes when it crashes into a spacecraft and the owners come calling on us for insurance

I love the annoying high pitched noise throughout. really enjoyable and not distracting at all!

You really didn't need a clickbaity title, as any good quality content about the Voyager probes, as this is, is worth watching. But why would we even want to bring them back! The whole reason for Voyager 1 and 2, is to increase our knowledge of the solar system, and to chart an ever expanding horizon for humanity and our aspirations to reach out to the stars...
