And unlike many more youthful space exploration devices she is still working 8-)
Hooray for an AMAZING feat of engineering....

maybe we will have to wait 100 years to when they will come back with the name V_ger, flying a huge space ship and become like a child ..that was the stry of the first star trek movie what a piece of waste, the worst star trek movie ever made.
I watched it a couple weeks ago... one of those old VHS tapes we mentioned. :P
