Voyager 1 Reaches Interstellar Space
letxa2000 writes "CNN is reporting that Voyager 1, now some 8.4 billion miles (90 AUs) from the sun, has left the solar system and entered interstellar space by reaching the heliopause. However, whether the probe has reached the heliopause or is just coming close is the subject of two papers to be published in Thursday's Nature Magazine. The probe supposedly has enough nuclear fuel to last until 2020. Will it be able to find anything interesting outside the solar system in the next 17 years?"

I am a 20 year old Junior at Behrend College, a division of Penn State
University, in Erie, PA. I transfered from another college, so I was placed on
the waiting list for the dorms and forced to rent. I found a place a few miles
from campus that was nice and clean, but very old. The first night I stayed
there, only one of my roommates had arrived. His bedroom is the entire 4th
floor attic, while mine was on the 3rd floor (our landlord lives on the first 2
floors). It was very hot that night. That plus the fact that I was in strange
surroundings, I could not sleep. Around 1:00 am, I heard my roommate come down
to my floor and move around in the kitchen . . . making noises as if he was
cooking. I could specifically hear kitchen drawers and cabinets opening and
closing, and the sound of silverwear and glasses clinking together. I figured
that I might as well get up and talk to him since i couldn't sleep either and I
didn't really know the guy very well at that time. So I got up out of bed, and
when I opened my door, the noises stopped and the rest of the house was pitch
black with not one light on. I still went into the kitchen, but nobody was
here. The door to his steps was shut and there was no light coming from around
it. I thought "well thats strange" and went back to bed.
AS SOON as i shut the door to my room, I heard the noises again. I layed back
down in bed, but could not sleep because of the noise. Now I was freaked out.
I got up again, looked out, and nobody was there, the house was dark. I closed
the door, went back in bed, and the noises started up again. This went on till
about 4:00 in the morning and I could not sleep because of the noise. Finally
it stopped at almost exactly 4:00 am. The next night, my other roommate had
arrived. His room is on the same floor as mine. I heard the noises start up
again around 1:00 am and again nobody was up, the house was dark. Again the
noises kept me up till 4:00 am. I asked the roommate on my floor if he had
heard anything, but he said all he heard was his door opening and closing and
assumed it was the wind. I decided to get a fan which effectively drowned out
the noise.
About a week later, my roommates both went home for the weekend. I heard the
noises again, this time over the fan I had bought. Now they sounded as if they
were IN my room. I layed in bed, scared to death, until I finally got up,
turned on all my lights and said "Shut the @#%& up I'm trying to sleep!" and
it stopped. the next night I was home alone again, so before I went to bed, I
said out loud "I don't care who you are or what you're doing here, but I do not
want to see you, hear you, or even know you are here in any way, so keep the
hell away from me." I felt REALLY FREAKED OUT while I was saying this and felt
serious chills. Nothing happened after that.
Nothing happened until a few days ago. i was watching The Wedding Singer on TBS
around 9:00 pm when something caught my attention. I looked up to see a hazy
misty figure standing in the doorway to my living room. It looked like the
heat waves coming off a grill in the summer, like that wavy type distortion of
the air or whatever. I wasn't scared, just like "what the hell?" I watched it
for a few seconds as it moved out of the door way and out of sight.
Thats all that has happened so far. I definately know I'm not imagining this.
My roommates don't seem to believe me. I always have a knack for attracting
this sort of thing. I think its because I just freak myself out.
You idiot. The homeless don't make 45K a year. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
... could you imagine a Beowulf cluster of Voyagers?...
I hope it finds Saddam or Bin Laden, or both sitting on their sorry asses on some distant planet...
If you were homeless, and wanted help, it's out there. Noones going to build you a 200,000 home and hand you the keys, but if you need a mailing address, a shower and shave, a hot meal, and clean clothes to get yourself a job - you could do so.
Absolute nonsense. Stop watching Fox news and go outside and TALK to actual homeless persons and you'll get a different picture.
The problem is EXACTLY, PRECISELY about not caring. This "they deserve it" and "should just get a job" nonsense is exactly that. It's FUD created so conservatives can feel better about sucking the economy dry and screwing everyone over.
The reason mentally ill persons cannot be forced into homes, as you assert, is because they were pushed out of mental institutions in the 80s by your special buddies Ronald Reagan and George Bush to "save money" so THEIR special buddies could steal it and use it fund their quest for Christian Conservative Capitalist World Domination.

It was the First Post !
