Greetings,

And yet, NASA is considering cutting funding. To be honest I would rather see the Hubble telescope fall into the Pacific then cut funding for these two. With Hubble it's simply a matter of finding the funding and waiting a couple of years to put a scope in orbit. With these two you have to wait half a lifetime to get any kind of result.

You'll get no arguments from me there!

Don't get me wrong, I love the HST too-- but I'll never, ever forget watching the incredibly detailed close-up pictures and data coming in from Jupiter and its moons, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. We learned more about the outer planets in a few months than what we knew in the previous three centuries.

I never cease to be astounded by what NASA accomplished with the Voyager missions. In my opinion, the Voyager probes represent the best money NASA ever spent on *any* space program, in terms of cost and return, hands down.

No doubt the last message we'll hear from Voyager:

So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish!
