  1. It's just mind blowing what those 2 spacecrafts have done for the mankind. We're still using their reference images and their collected data of the outer planets they flew by even after almost 50 years. To think that they have traveled for years endlessly and from billions of miles away they have sent pictures of our system's planets is just something else. We take so many things we know about the solar system for granted but to think that astronomers didn't even know what neptune or uranus looked like before the voyager program gives you the idea.
  2. well not quite, voyager 1 is traveling through sun's magnetic field voyager 2 is far behind on a completely different trajectory. I guess it depends on how you define the boundaries of the solar system. NASA reckons It'll be another 40,000 years before any of the voyagers make a flyby to another star system. And we're talking just a few light years at this rate. The milky way alone is more than 100,000 light years across. But we do have 5 interstellar spacecrafts as of now, voyager 1 is the only one that is directly heading towards the middle of the galaxy.
  3. yes well it is often the problem with space. No one can really comprehend the size. We are not evolved to make sense of such vast numbers so even when you start to go above thousands or millions the true meaning of the scale is lost in our brains. It took more than 9 years for the fastest man-made object to reach the inner circle of kuiper belt, and that's just the backyard of our solar system.
  4. well Neptune's orbit takes around 160 earth years to complete so go figure. We are talking huge AUs here.

  16. I have to try this one out definitely, bit off topic but got a question, have you hit the demand wall with any of your cities? When I get to around 1 million population all the RCI demands slowly disappear
