Raised on the optimism of the Apollo moon missions, the Voyager program has been a part of my life’s interest ever since I was in school; for something which has brought so much knowledge and light, this is a downbeat proto-eulogy. It’s not an unfair perspective… but we should celebrate achievement and having outlasted expectation.
Astronomers already know that everything ends; perhaps we are okay with that because we always look up.
