The Farthest – one of the best documentaries of 2017

[GAMETHEORY]

This exquisite, exemplary science documentary, recounts the rich and fascinating story of the Voyager mission, arguably Nasa’s finest, noblest contribution to scientific understanding.

Launched in 1977, Voyager I and II were sent billions of miles to the outer limits of our solar system to gather information about Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune and then into deep space.

In 2012, Voyager I slipped through the heliopause and officially became the first human-made object to reach interstellar space, and it’s still going today, to infinity and beyond.

Great documentary

Growing up, I really thought man would be in colonies on other planets.
I think I hoped I could be one of those explorers as an engineer.

I get sad when thinking of time, distance and scope realizing that we truly know nothing of what's truly out there. It's saddening to know that during our lifetime we'll most likely never know or see the deep depths of the solar system.
