Voyager 2 - Tumblr Posts
This is truly remarkable, the only thing humanity has done really well is communicate that it exists. A message in a bottle to the far reaches of the universe ...... We ourselves are still thrilled by these extraordinary measures and will be for the rest of our lives.

We could be a civilisation of successful explorers trying to understand the mysteries of the universe, instead we waste our time killing each other with all the resources we can mobilize.
This makes us sad and only shows how little civilisation we really have.
Based on our enthusiasm, we even bought a book with the golden record on Kickstarter. And we still get excited when we look at it.
Both probes are on a mission to explore the vastness of space and go where no man has gone before! Or, as it currently stands, will be.

Don't mind me. I'm being disgustingly emotional over the Voyager twins.
I am speechless.
