Voyager has now become the first man made object to leave the Solar system, it is now 12 billion miles from home !

It's amazing and still we do not know if there is life beyond us, which surely there must be??
Can we really be the only life forms in this universe, I think not? However that is only my opinion before I get slated as a crack pot!!

Interstella space, I would love to be out there exploring, who else wants to go?? !!

IF trajectory was followed, with the momentum of the rockets, at least 2 of the long missing Russian cosmonauts that reached orbit but just kept on going until radio comms gave out, may have left our system long ago. Several went up in the late 50's and early 60's, and had malfunctions and kept going out into space. One, after months of silence returned a signal; another's last words were, in Russian, as "Oh my God...."
To this day no one really knows how many didn't return. Some of this can be found on Google...They would classify as "man made"...poor guys.

Their trajectories would not be such that they would leave the solar system. A boost out of our (Earth's) orbit would just put them in a different orbit. You would need more powerful rockets, a specific flight path, and usually help from the orbit of other planets to leave the Solar System.

The actual diameter of our Solar System is quite large.

"Sedna is three times farther away from Earth than Pluto, making it the most distant observable object known in the solar system. It is 143.73 billion km from the Sun, thus giving the Solar System a diameter of 287.46 billion km. Now, that is a lot of zeros, so let�s simplify it into astronomical units. 1 AU(distance from the Earth to the Sun) equals 149,597,870.691 km. Based on that figure, Sedna is nearly 960.78 AU from the Sun and the Solar System is 1,921.56 AU in diameter."

But if you have a ride, I want to go too!

Pfff ... I think I'd like to go, but not with the technology of today. I think I'll wait another 100 years or so, till we have Star Trek technology and knowledge. Then I'm up for it. Decent spaceship, weapons if need be, an able Ct like Picard.
I'm just gonna wait. Next life maybe

I rather have James t kirk to be my captain

I would join u it be so cool to travel the galaxy go where no one has gone before!!

fyi. voyager has a matter transference receiver on board, irish scientists have been routinely flipping to it since launch. adding to its life support capabilities, so now it can accommodate 7 or more humans. you may find this astounding, but think if you are going to transfer matter, you'd need a receiver. the all Ireland space defence directorate, is secretly engaged in observations of our spacetime continuum, also trying to contact any possible entities extant in parallel ones. man the conscious entity evolved by this continuum to observe itself, subjectively. makes any further highly evolved beings in this universe obsolete. necessarily, other 'life' exists only in some other part of the multiverse.
the strewth is out there.

Seeing how many stars/suns they are in our milky way galaxy with possible orbiting planets ( not counting other galaxy's )... the crackpots should be the ones who think there is NO life elsewhere
Oh And yay for the voyager part

That's so cool. I hope some other intelligent beings find it and send it back with a note attached.

Possible notes (trsnslated from Klingon)

1) Please dispose of your trash properly

2) We were going to visit your country and bring you cures to all known diseases but we heard you were closed.

3) Taste like chicken

4) Sorry we had to destroy your pornographic satellite. Next time keep your nude drawings to yourselves.

There surely must be other forms out there and the way our man made objects has gone exploring the environment lets expect too :)

My last post was funny and none of you laughed. I'm very disappointed.
I'm going to go cry now.

If I laugh now, you'll just think I'm doing it out of pity.
