Over 30 years ago, NASA famously launched two Voyager probes into space on a mission through our solar system.  The probes are now leaving our solar system, and heading into the fringes of interstellar space. Their distance is mind-boggling.  In fact, they are "...so far from home that the sun is a mere pinprick of light."

That's amazing, and evermore exciting! I sincerely hope the probes recover abundant amounts of information that will help break the paradigms and paradoxes of our nation.
