Voyager 1 Crosses The Termination Shock
SubstormGuy writes "In a scientific session at the AGU meeting in New Orleans this morning, Dr. Ed Stone presented clear evidence that Voyager 1 crossed the termination shock last December. The scientists in the room applauded when the announcement was made."
It absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
...voyager fans, unsure what "termination shock" exactly means, start raising donations "just in case".
While it's there, I'll send it a message to have a look around... I think that's where I left my sunglasses.
No, no sig. Really.

The real question is when will it return to threaten earth as part of a destructive alien entity? and will Kirk, Spock and the gang be ready to save us?
sorry 'bout the mess...
But when it comes to SPACEFLIGHT -- 2005 is shaping up to be a banner year!
Yeah, NASA might actually launch a shuttle this year.
Give a man fire, and you warm him for the night. Set a man on fire, and you warm him for the rest of his life.
Imagine sending info across millions of light years with technology built in 1970s...
Ahhh..
You know about the secret 8-track installation on Voyager too, huh?
You missed it when it was slightly defaced, gotta love those trolls.
Termination shock is also experienced by women following sexual intercourse. The most common scenario is related to premature ejaculation, most often due to mating with Slashdot readers.

I am totally depressed by my inability to make a Star Trek: The Motion Picture joke.
That's nothing! A shuttle may actually successfully land this year!
..before it finds the machine planet, and begins the long journey home.
"The most common scenario is related to premature ejaculation, most often due to mating with Slashdot readers."
So it's just a theory...?
"Derp de derp."
That's nothing. Try felching, now that's really cool.

You mean Wikipedia has incorrect information? How can this be! Wikipedia is the end-all, be-all of information! They're more trustworthy than the New York Times, CBS, and the BBC put together!

Plus, the Autobots and Decepticons finally get new leaders!
Pity about Prime, though.
Secession is the right of all sentient beings.
So it kinda evens out.
Mod me troll and I will become more powerful than you can imagine.
You have two hands and one brain, so always code twice as much as you think!
They don't really KNOW that that it crossed that TERMINATION SHOCK thingamajigger. The termination shock isn't mentioned EVEN ONCE in the bible, new OR old testament.
OMG cut NASA's funding!
Now before I get modded down, I be to remind whoever might read this that what I am saying is FACT. - bogaboga
Yes. Don't buy your tinfoil from Nationals. It actually enhances the reception for the government mind control satilites.
You may have meant that to be sarcastic (at least that's what a specific portion of my brain tells me), but given recent history, you might be at least 2/3rds right...

I object to that article, and to the next reply.
