In other words: it took humanity 33 years to get from here...
...to there.
Does anybody else feel like a flyspeck on a supertruck's windshield right now?
I wonder if they would've done things differently if it were to be launched today.
Like what?
It is remarkable to me that it has taken most of my life for a man-made object just to get to the edge of our solar system
Woops, forgot to quote.
I was thinking along the lines of the Golden Record.
Mention the internet, other inventions etc.
Has anyone left a broadcast message yet in our behalf?
Yep. I'm far from being a melancholiac but it definitely saddens me that I won't get to see what else humanity will discover "out there".

That's a well-built spacecraft.
