I thought this might be a good audiobook for putting me to sleep at night, but I really enjoyed it and found that it was keeping me up instead of knocking me out. This guy seems to think that the Voyager missions represent the greatest achievement in the history of man and after finishing it, I find it hard to disagree.

I see from the amazon reviews that some supreme nerds nit-pick it, but I really liked it... maybe I shouldn't have addressed the forum space nerds since they probably already know everything about this...

As a kid, I was fascinated by the things that NASA did.

I had a first day of issue of this stamp:

Does Decker transmit the NASA code signal to Vejur at the end?

Thanks for posting... Sounds like a read I'd enjoy!

In college, I had a math prof who worked on the navigation computer for the Voyagers. I've always been interested in 'em.

That's because you purchased the edited version. In the full version you hear every one of the "Voyager checking in. All nominal. Will broadcast again in 5 days. Voyager out."

I remember doing a long report in about the 4th or 5th grade on Voyager 2. Yikes, that was a long time ago...

I know how the story ends - has something to do with James Kirk...

Recently had dinner (on a cruise ship) with the engineer responsible for Voyager's onboard Range Finder (whatever that is). Didn't learn a lot (English was not his native language) but still fun to actually meet someone who was involved.
