UPDATE (Voyager 1 Hears Hum Outside Our Solar System): ruclips.net/video/4iaiscT09X4/видео.html
It's those Car Warranty Guys trying to get in touch with it since Romulent 6
Nope its just Cmdr. Decker & Lt. Ilia reminding all carbon based lifeforms to get vaxxed, and watch for their career's to reignite soon.....2271
Could be Jehovahs witnesses
If it's following a long extended elliptic orbit then it's possible.
@@ernestschoenmakers8181 it's possible in many many ways considering we know very very little about what's in or outside our solar system
The fact that Voyager is almost a light day away is pretty amazing.
Wait seriously? That is insane!
But also a poignant fact indicator to how short a distance it's traveled despite decades.
the speed and distance it takes light to travel in one day! but it only took 44 years!!!! loololol
You kidding, seriously??
It's only 21 AU short of 1 light day, so yeah "almost".
But that's still only about 88℅ of a light day and 3,142,000,000 km short!!
Imagine its us 10,000,000 years later on another planet intercepting the voyager 1 probe but having no memory of the past so our own probe would be alien to us
That's a plot twist.
Just like a lot of artefacts accidentally dug up by construction workers.
That's just fucked up hahaha
It has information about its origin on its golden disk, so we would know it comes from earth
All you gotta do is watch Star Trek: The Movie and that will show you the exact scenario you present. Those screenwriters sure knew how to predict the future, eh?
I read many years ago that a function was held in 1983, to mark the occasion when Pioneer 10, the first Jupiter probe, launched on March 2, 1972, passed a greater distance than the orbit of Neptune, at that point more distant than Pluto, because of Pluto's more elliptical orbit, and was considered to have exited the solar system. A NASA official asked the CEO of TRW Systems, Inc., the contractor which built the spacecraft, whether Pioneer 10 was still under warranty. His reply was, 'Yes. You return the spacecraft to the factory and we'll fix it.'
Really
As pluto orbits within the kieber belt and at its closest point to the sun its still millions of miles beyond Neptune
@@markmitchell450 Pluto was inside Neptune's orbit until 1979.
At a weird angle
So they will never hit but yes
A lonely voyager on an endless flight...perhaps in time,the only evidence that we ever existed.
It will long outlive humans. At least humans as we know them.
That’s almost for certain.
Since Earth is only habitable for another 1 billion years, I have no doubt it will
The only way it could be destroyed would be if it entered the event horizon of a black hole or came into the gravitational pull of a star where it would burn up ! In billions of years it would probably deteriorate due to radiation scaring.
at least its something out there that proves to other potential life forms that there is something out there, something we are still yet to find.
Batteries lasting 48 years, developed in the 1970s? And I have to change batteries in my smoke alarm every six months? What's up with that?
The price tag and radioactivity are both up with that. Voyager's plutonium batteries are not practical for general consumer use.
@@not2tired It was a joke.
@@davemitchell116 im picturing you sat at home with a glowing green smoke alarm lmao
It bears a small nuclear reactor. That's its energy source. A miniature nuclear submarine.
@@crazyhorse6840 It was a joke. You know, ha ha.
A great example of Betteridge's law of headlines: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."
More or less. But in this case, the no or yes is not that important. What matters here is that people can have an idea of how objects move in space, and how primitive we still are when it comes to managing with them.
How?
Is Betteridge's law accurate?
I believe there was a movie about it coming back, it was called Star Trek The Motion Picture and it changed it's name to v'ger!
Oh not that V'ger, please!
You mean Star Trek The MOTIONLESS picture.😋
That was Voyager SIX...
yes, the fictional voyager 6.. and apparently the advanced machine race of aliens didn't know how to brush off a little bit of dirt so captain kirk had to do it.
@@sarasarah1810 i prefer to think of it as 'star trek the motion sickness'...
Watched it again tonight, Voyager 1 and 2 left the ecliptic plane in different directions, With Voyager 2 going below and Voyager 1 going above, they are destined to wander the Cosmos forever, God Bless you Carl Sagan, we will never forget! God Bless The Universe!!
Our whole solar system wobbles above and below the galactic plane something like every 25,000 years or so. The Voyagers will just end up bobbing up and down along with it, but just a bit out of phase.
Spot on Joseph, i never tire reading about the voyagers as they are a magnificent achievement. Fly on to the stars and beyond you special ones.
Sagan didn't believe in God. I bet he does now. Why him when it is NASA that developed and launched V1 & V2?
@@CivilEngineerWroxton Sagan is dead, and suggesting that he may believe in god now just showcase your lack of knowledge and disrespect about him and his work. Also, the fact you dont understand how he ended up managing the gold record project shows that your dont know much about the Voyagers project. Check this: ruclips.net/video/znTdk_de_K8/видео.html
How do you justify what’s up and what’s down…???
2:19 "...All electronic functions ceasing sometime around 2025..."
6:03 "The Voyager probe will likely outlive humans."
I can't disagree with that one.
That's true.
"Voyager has transmitted over 5 Trillion bits of information!"
So, over 625 gigs?
That's pretty impressive considering data that takes almost a light-day to receive

In the great tradition of, if you answer RUclips video title questions with 'NO', 100% of the time, you will be right 99.99% of the time, I'll go with 'NO'.
That's right.
@@Cosmoknowledge of course we forgot to account for human sentimental value, so if our technology gets advanced enough before voyager 1 escapes our reach before its batteries fail then ya humanity would absolutely go out and retrieve it if not to retrieve it but to test a craft meant to go even farther than voyager 1 is and return.
voyager 1 would be the perfect milestone to test a interstellar craft with a return trip...
and why not drag the booster rocket that is orbiting our sun as a appetizer

That's funny :-)

Agh... I knew it. 😄
Yes when it crashes into a spacecraft and the owners come calling on us for insurance
Wow! I haven't thought of that!

I'll give points to the trekkies for remembering that movie, however it coming back was not included and is one of the reasons the golden record was included with it at launch.
True.
We invited him here!......starman
Don't worry. VGer is coming back in a few centuries.
Wow!
You beat me to it.
I was just thinking that. Either that or a future starship will run into it like Nomad.

@@ozzymandius666 But, you'll agree, she was a hottie while she lasted..LOL.
Misleading title, not cool. "Could we bring Voyager 1 back to Earth?" "What would it take to..." "How could we..." But this title implies that something odd is going on and Voyager somehow isn't on an escape trajectory.
NASA: Hey bro you good?
Voyager 1: No.
😄
@@Cosmoknowledge 😄
I love the annoying high pitched noise throughout. really enjoyable and not distracting at all!
Wow! That's great to hear! 😍❤
I know, right?
@@Cosmoknowledge Do better.
It's on a hyperbolic escape trajectory, if it comes back then that's going to raise a lot of questions.
@Nigs Whittington galactic orbits are more complicated than those in solar system, our Sun is going around center of galaxy but also up and down relative to the disk mass
I'll give the video points for the information given at the end, along with the predictions of where the Voyagers will be far into the future. And for mentioning Carl Sagan.
I appreciate that! ✌

😄😄
He does not.
@@tristanband4003 then you don't know Elon😊
Lol
Elon Musk was a Little help from Donald Trump not only could get it back but could get the Martians to pay for it.
Nice idea, but the gold discs were included for a reason!
Save The Hubble Telescope instead!
It makes sense right!? 😄
No need. James Webb would be next gen awesome
The gold discs weren’t Tupac albums? Guess he couldn’t flex until they went platinum 🧐
Agreed!!!
good point. I might prefer to load it onto a new spacecraft and refit it with new instruments to someday reach the nearest stars.
You really didn't need a clickbaity title, as any good quality content about the Voyager probes, as this is, is worth watching. But why would we even want to bring them back! The whole reason for Voyager 1 and 2, is to increase our knowledge of the solar system, and to chart an ever expanding horizon for humanity and our aspirations to reach out to the stars...
That's so true. But this video was made just to play with the physics behind the idea of bringing the probe back and to get people to realize how primitive we are that we can't even catch something coming our way. The future is bright, however. ✌
Voyager 2 est lancée la première le 20 août 1977 et sa jumelle Voyager 1 le 5 septembre. clickbait title is WRONG
its still fulfilling one last mission. Testamentary that we once existed. and may be all that remains of us if we cant pull our heads out of our own asses and work together to get off this rock!!!
... That is true
Okay. But we need to stop f... ng up this rock.
It will be debris before any other species; intelligent or not would ever get a chance to catch a glimpse of it.
Not just get off it but stop destroying it it’ll last loooong time if we stop speeding it’s death up if it’ll even have one exception of our own hand
@@Earth11111 the earth will be fine untill the sun expans. We wont!
In the deep, dark cold loneliness of space, no one will hear you cry.
True.

Actually even the cold dark vacuume of space will transmit cries of ppl who wasted their time watching this clickbait spam bs.
@@dannyreloaded2100 there are several statements floating around with the same sentiment.
@@dannyreloaded2100 if you’d be alone in the cold dark of space, you’d be awishen for some bacon to keep you company.
When I first saw the title, my thought was that some gravitational phenomenon or passing stellar mass has caused its orbit to shift and start heading back in our general direction. Then a short time into the video I realized it was more of as "Can the Voyager come come back to Earth now" sort of question rather than a "If its coming back to Earth" sort of question.
It can't and we don't have to spend energy on bringing it back.
"travel beyond the limits of interstellar space" @34 seconds.
That should be interplanetary space. It went into interstellar space.
Gliese 445 isn’t within the Oort Cloud, it’s over 17 light years away, the Oort Cloud only extends between 0.3 and 3.2 light years.
There's no evidence that the Oort Cloud exists.
@@vesuvandoppelganger but either way, it definitely doesn’t exist 17~ light years away.
I just found your channel, awesome stuff keep it up, would love to see videos on earth like exo planets. Also updates / possible discoveries the James Webb telescope could make :)
Awesome to hear that. Thank you so much and thanks for the suggestions. I sure will. In the meantime, check out this video we made about James Webb's mirror: ruclips.net/video/XlUjCbfmW18/видео.html
The animations are on another whole new level
So great that you like them! 😍
It's like any other animation
I think it extremely likely that most of our early interstellar efforts, including both Voyagers, will be recovered and returned to become museum exhibits in the next 100 to 300 years. Given the current rate of advancement in our ability to travel continues, a recovery mission is unlikely to be a significant investment or undertaking a few centuries from now.
You never know right!?
No I will not waste billions on it so should governments.
Voyager will return to Earth as Vger. The Kirk unit and Sinead O’ Conner will help it interface with the Creator
Wow!
that was voyager 6
Lt. Ilia (Persis Khambatta) and Cmdr. Willard Decker (Stephen Collins).....your welcome
Hahahahaha!
Then it will turn us into the borg
Honestly if we somehow on the next 1000 years conquer space as a unified species we could bring her home on a spaceship
Maybe. If we want.
151 AUs, over all this time, seems trivial. That's 1/20th of 1% to the nearest star. It would arrive in the year 18,000.
Wait... At ~time ~5:10, are you suggesting that Gliese 445 is closer to us than the OORT cloud? That doesn’t sound right... As you illustrated at time ~8:15, the Oort Cloud extends nearly to Alpha Centauri, which is about 4.4 light years away. Gliese 445 is nearly 15 light years away.
You are right in your observation.
Ok
Wow! I knew it wouldn't come back, but this is some cool video 👍
Oh, thanks a lot man! ❤
Holly molly, your content quality is exquisite. Facts at the end , indeed quite informative, none like in this format out there. Keep up the good work.
This truly helps me on making even better videos. Thank you so much for not sparing your good words! ❤
Sad part is, if it ever returns back home for any reason, mankind more then likely won't be living on the planet by then. We can't get along with each other!
Mankind will spread on multiple planets and will prosper longer than we think.
Providing The Good Lord see's fit to let him do so! Since all he's done on Earth is cause war, fighting amongst one another, and kill and enslave one another!
I feel sad for Voyager twins as they will never be able to return to earth 🌎
Feels. Much feels! 😌❤
They were built to go away and fully understood the circumstances. At launch they were happy to start their respective voyages and spend all their living days helping us understand the universe.

In my eyes, Pluto is still our farthest little planet. Not Neptune.
The reason to take away it's title was stupid.
It's not stupid actually, the object just hasn't fully formed to be called a planet. There's still a lot of debris in Pluto's orbital pathway that needs to be incorporated into the dwarf planet.
Plus, there are more massive dwarf planets that Pluto.
That was awesome. Great video
Thank you so much!
All the elements that make up the program are quantum entangled to this planet, we should be able to communicate with the probe forever given this fact - with the proper technology of course. The entanglement is the connection.
I'm just amazed they could come with a form of communication that works and lasted this long. We're talking 1970's technology here, like in 8-track tapes.
It simply doesn't exist.
Well, that's what happens when some of the best minds in the world gather to work on something.
@@Cosmoknowledge Best minds? Please look up NASA $125 million mistake. Something about converting metrics....

Andromeda Strain ?
You would not need to send a craft to retrieve Voyager. You would program Voyager to partly 'return' to Earth, even though its signalling devices would expire en route. Then you would send a craft to intercept it for the sole purpose of deploying a device (or devices) that follow the Voyager _(or possibly even attach to the voyager)._ Then the craft-devices would thereby continually inform the Earth where the Voyager is. At some later point, a second craft could be made to then go get Voyager.
Well, thanks for your input!
Fascinating video.
Awesome! Thank you! ✌

@@shrey4558 weird flex but ok
"Voyager 1 launched shortly after Voyager 2" why NASA, why?
😂😂😂 they must be Star Wars fans or something 😂😂😂
@@SquirrelASMR lmao
Trajectories to reach different planets.
Because they designed Voyager 1's trajectory in such a way that it would gain speed and reach Voyager 2. Voyager 1 was the first to reach interstellar space and is now the farthest.
By the way, check out "The Farthest" documentary. It's really a must. ✌
4:30 observatory in Lithuania, Moletai, did not expect to see that in this context at all, nice :)
Oh, nice that you know that. ✌
Imagine if there's aliens on another star system and saw Voyager 1 and send it back to earth and say throw your garbage in the right place
You deserve a million followers and your editing is on a different level.❤️❤️
Oh, thank you! I really appreciate that! ✌
Unfortunately, these days it's calling itself Veejr and it's a little teeny bit more technically advanced.....
Don't worry. In the 23rd century Cmdr. Decker and Lt. Ilia will merge with veejr and save the Earth. No worries!
Wow, let's hope so!
“So is it coming back or not?” 🤣
Not really.
@@Cosmoknowledge 😂😂🤣🤣
It's only going 30k miles an hour not fast enough to break the milky ways gravitational hold, it might eventually come back but it could be billions of years from now.
Why did we send gold everyone knows platinum sells more records.
HELLLLLLLLL NOOOOOOOO 😂
wow. such an amazing story.
I'm so glad you appreciate it.
Imagine if it returns, and the golden record is missing. 😱👽 Stolen by aliens!
Sadly I thought the thing was actually coming back for my surprise. Nope I just got click baited.
Now, that's a plot twist.
First recorded interstellar thievery.
LOL
@Zap Rowsdower hehehehe
I heard there was already a comment from aliens about the golden record: "Send more Chuck Berry."
Why not launching a satellite that function as a repeater in the space to amplify the signal?
No it won't work because if you launch a amplifier in to space it was very hard to make it to full stop coz all objects in space move in every direction all you need to stop the object is if the object touch another object or force it back like a Rocket btw im not good at english sorry lol
@@iufanboy5932 I understand. There is no absolute stationary in space. The repeater could be set into an orbit like the other satellite for intra-earth communication. The em wave is very non specific and non directional. If there are multiple repeater satellites sitting on different orbits to cover each other in case the planet itself blocking the communication, in this case, eg the deep space satellite dishes, the signal from the voyagers could still transmissible. And, similarly, if same concept applies and more repeater satellites deployed to Jupiter, Neptune.... or their moon, that could help relaying the signal from deep space beyond heliopause. It’s just a concept. I don’t know much about heliopause.
@@xplorefurther yea you have a point thats right you can put a satillite into an planetary orbit but it can only be use if the planet orbits is closer from voyager 1 if it away from voyager maybe it can only use at a certain time since planet orbit sun btw nice to meet you 🙂
Voyager twins, 1 & 2.
Together with their twin siblings, Pioneers F & G, which, in flight, became Pioneers 10 & 11. Four ground-breaking missions!!
This would have been kind of a pointless video, based just on the title.
But that title was a splendid and very welcome entrée to a review of how great the Voyagers (and Pioneers) were.
I remember when they were awaiting launch; and then when they all made their fly-by's, how incredibly exciting the results were!
Not just the pictures, but all of it, down to the particles & fields instrument findings.
And I remember regretting that they couldn't work Pluto (still considered a planet then) into the flight plan, because it was so clearly going to be different from those 4 gas giants, and from our inner-Solar-System, rocky quartet.
And then, how great it was when that gap in knowledge was closed decades later, by New Horizons.
Upvote!
Fred
Thank you so much for this beautiful input. 😌
It's so amazing there is no one blaming the title
Why blame the poor title?
Kind of sad that when Voyager stops transmitting , it disappears from mankind forever.
Its already in an area so dark that if you were floating just feet from it you wouldnt be able to see it.
( or see your hand in front of your face )
There is a faint "infrared" emission from its reactor , but even that will fade to nothing over the centuries.
Voyager is destined to be lost forever.
True.
There will be other ways to discover something in the darkness of space.
We already have radar and gravitar to detect disturbances in the gravity is not too fat away.
I'd take a torch just in case!
Space is actually pretty dark even in our solar system.
Aliens will probably retrieve it one day.
Voyanger 1 be like when he return earth: Where tf is earth?
🤣🤣
i have a question, would it be possible to use cosmic backround ratiation as a fuel source?
I don't know. Sorry!
One could argue that we, as a species, are a failure if we never manage to catch up with the Voyagers. I, for one, am passing down the trajectory information to my progeny. Hopefully the Voyagers will one day become highly valuable space salvage.
(Oh, by the way, given the rate of impacts with dust particles, I suspect the Voyagers will be eroded away to nothing recognizable in a few million years.)
A retrieval mission would definitely be worth it because it would be a great experience in training experience everything learned from it would be great
We already have all the necessary data from the Voyager. This probe has brought us more than we could ask for.
Bring that back home, im ready to develop a mission😢😢😢
Wow!
Very good informative post
Awesome to hear that. Thank you! ❤
What I don't get is that they say there are so many obstacles out there moving with unbelivable speed, so how the hell has this thing gone so far without beeing destroyed ?
Even an obstacle at the size of a dust corn could be devastating if moving at enormous speed .
It's not like this thing has any magic shield as the Enterprise has !?
The emptiness between objects in space is tremendously vast. Expecting Voyager to run into something in space is like releasing two flies in the grand canyon, each from the opposite side, and expecting them to collide with each other.
Mankind has left junk cars on mutiple planets and has even trashed outer space.
It's thanks to them that we now know tons of things about our solar system. These machines have taught us that the sky is not the limit anymore.
Lol..just think...one day we might have the equivelent in space of the floating garbage patch in pacific ocean.
I saw this movie....Vger comes home but Kirk saves us all.....oh, sorry about Decker...
That was Voyager 6 and it wasn't launched yet.
When you get to late game and your teammate displays his ping in the chat 0:58
😄😄
There's no returning the Voyager probes, but I like to think there'll be a museum station next to it in a few centuries.
I think rthese probes will have historical markers placed on them eventually so that space traffic doesn't accidently run into them.
It never gets that far cos in star trek the Kingons use it as target practice
or it might come back as V'Ger
No. That was Pioneer 10, not Voyager.
Or a supernova explodes and make it come back to earth or even make its speed to absolute 0 or maybe a black hole will slingshot it going at 99.9% of the speed of light but at that speed I doubt whether technology of that time will stay still without breaking apart
I’m totally amazed it hasn’t Smacked into something yet! Because literally everything is out in space Morty.
😄😄❤
You shouldn't be the chances of it hitting something are about the same as it coming back to earth.... if the sun was the size of this full stop ---> . The nearest other star would be 6 miles away.
@@richardaitkenhead Oh sure but space is littered with meteorites, comets and asteroids.
@@richardaitkenhead ; In case you aren't already aware of them, check out the sites I listed in my posted reply to Clint Stern. Originally, the Josh Worth site was the only one.

I listened to Voyager One on the telephone many years ago.
It has never been the intent to bring it back. That has never been it's point. It's point was to go away. What is the point of this video?
What an utterly pointless video. You've spent 8 minutes and 43 seconds answering a question no one has ever asked 🤷🏼♂️
Actually, a lot of people have asked this and that's exactly why I created this video. It just explains how enormously hard, if not impossible, it would be if someone tried to bring it back.
@@Cosmoknowledge I think the better question is why... Why would we ever conceivably benefit from a mission dedicated to retrieving voyager. If we had the capability it wouldn't be worth it, because it would be a tourist destination because at that point space travel would be a norm like getting on a plane today.
@@Cosmoknowledge No one has asked this question. The Voyager craft were designed from the ground up to be throwaways. There was never any intention to either stop or bring either of them back. That's what the gold discs they carry are about, to communicate with any possible intelligences finding them as they passed forever beyond our reach.
However you at least have completed your mission, to get comments and clicks on your blatherings. Well done.
Dude, you're talking about a robotic spacecraft with a cluster of ion engines, a couple of large regular engines, a mechanical arm, and automatic straps that would secure the probe once it had been captured. Once that happens you light up the big engines to bring the speed down to near zero and then turn the ion engines back on and bring it home. At the right distance the spacecraft flips end for end and slows down to intercept Earth. There it waits in orbit until a craft that can return it safely to the ground is constructed.
As for the cost, it wouldn't be very expensive since you're not trying to send people after the probe. You could even build a disposable booster in space that would give it a major speed boost so that it gets to Voyager 1 in less than 15 years
Of course we will bring it back, its hardly moved anywhere, one day our technology will get to that stage that it will be easy to go and pick up the voyager,to bring it back to earth and to plant it in some museum.
Yes, there was a documentary on this called Star Trek The Motion Picture.
Oh not that, please.
Very symbolic that the video is a little over 8 minutes long
Approximately the length of time it takes for light from the Sun's surface to reach the Earth
Cool video
I knew the answer to the question but the video is packed with information
I really appreciate that. Thank you so much! ✌
Ok!! The Jupiter has really transformed though.
It's kinda sad, isn't it..... I mean, we all be long gone but they'll keep voyaging through the cosmos, exploring the vast unknown by themselves.
Maybe we'll not be long gone. Maybe we'll just be something else.
