Yo I thought the voyager probes were the only probes that have ever left the solar system that's crazy

Now I'm gonna have to look up YouTube videos about all of pioneer missions.

Edit; I'm conflating these 2 probes with the voyager probes. The plaques in thinking of were on Pioneer probes. I think my brain has been mixing facts from pioneer and voyager for a while

Edit 2: voyager 1 and 2 are the only ones that have actually made it past the boundary. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstellar_probe#:~:text=As%20of%202024%2C%20there%20are,three%20are%20on%20interstellar%20trajectories.

It'll be a monument.

Every other monument we have yet made lies within the solar system. The voyager probes are humanity's first physical journey beyond our home. It's human curiousity reaching out into the cosmos for the first time. As cosmic infants walking outdoors for the first time. Even if we eventually pass them some day, they were still the first.

And even more, there are plaques on them waiting for that 1 in a trillion chance to be found by a distant alien race. Long after humanity goes extinct those plaques will endure. Even if we can see the beginning of the universe with telescopes, those telescopes are near to our planet.

The voyager probes could potentially exist in the future as the only thing outside of our solar system to prove we ever even existed....hell depending on how and when we go out, they might be the only things anywhere

edit: I forgot about pioneer. pioneer 10 and 11 were launched first but voyager 1 and 2 left the solar system first. Also there is new horizons. 5 probes total.

Pioneer probes had plaques and voyager 1 and 2 have gold records that can be played if assembled correctly by aliens. Lol https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstellar_probe#:~:text=As%20of%202024%2C%20there%20are,three%20are%20on%20interstellar%20trajectories.

Uhhhh phrasing

No one understands this part. We had the largest demonstrations of my 30 years of life during the pandemic of all things....why? Because everyone was getting government stipends to stay home from work and people had time to fight for what's right instead of putting food on the table and keeping a roof over their heads.

This election in America was one side saying this to the other and then the other "owning us" by not listening

He does important work to keep railroads working I imagine then! I believe those are the tensioners for high voltage lines over trans and railways

I mean... religious types like guns, commonly. That's a normal thing to see

Unless you're commenting on it being a Russian made gun, then yeah that's kinda weird

You should watch Mike Flannigan's horror anthologys on Netflix. There's one dedicated to shoving as much Poe references as possible into it and it's awesome.

The haunting of Hill House The haunting of Bly Manor Midnight mass And the fall of the house of usher.

The last one is the one that references Poe constantly

None of that has been tried in a court since the supreme Court ruling. And insurrection isn't even one of the charges in the indictment.

We can't have a lawsuit about that till a ruling is handed down saying he did any of those things

Which the Republicans knew, so they just had to delay until he won again and can pardon/dismiss/fire Jack smith/etc
