@bibble - That must have been pretty interesting! I have read several of his books, and seen footage from his documentary series, Cosmos etc and always been impressed by his presentations.
It is an impressive feat though - A piece of engineering some 36 years ago, still going, still signalling after all that time and all that distance, setting new speed records as it goes. It also serves to demonstrate just how ill-equipped our comprehension is when it comes to envisioning very big distances etc.
@Wolf -With you on Stargate - great Sci-Fi series, probably my favourite :)
