On August 20, 1977, the intrepid spacecraft Voyager 2 launched from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, FL on what was supposed to be only a four year mission to Jupiter and Saturn. But exactly 34 years later, Voyager 2 has cemented itself into the upper echelons of unmanned space exploration, continuing to beam back data as it searches for the barrier between our solar system and interstellar space.

Must be lonely in the sky. alone. with no one there to comfort you. Millions of miles away from earth. with only a cd which wont make a sound in space for reasons the star wars crew did not grasp.

I wish Star Wars ONLY was like that. ALL the science fictions movies, and TV series, and comics, and Anime, and... and... and... whatever, regularly add effects that have nothing to do with reality, justifying themselves with the need to make things more spectacular... when even one of the most destructive space phenomena, like a supernova, makes NO sound at all.

There is no sound when Dave Bowman blasts into Discovery's airlock.

As soon as the lock fills with air the sound resumes.
