    You guy remember the NASA's space probe Voyager? Do you ever wonder where it could be? Well NASA never lost it's position. https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/

    This was launched 5 years before I was born. There where two launched: Voyager 1 and 2.

    This song, below, was actually in the show X-files season 2 episode one.

    Pretty good for 1970's technology . . . the first man made object to leave the Sol system (that we know of, anyway).

    There are three different computer types on the Voyager spacecraft, two of each kind, sometimes used for redundancy. They are proprietary, custom-built computers built from CMOS and TTL medium scale integrated circuits and discrete components. Total number of words among the six computers is about 32K. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have identical computer systems
