As like with cars, motorcycles, or musical instruments, I do feel an attachment to the two Voyagers. They are our cosmic emissaries. Long after all of the life that Earth is host to will be gone, the two Voyagers may just be the only people-made objects that tell any entity that finds them that we had once existed. They are more than just space probes in that sense.

:wub:

There is a certain romantic aspect to human information floating through space.

Good morning ! Or, afternoon.
Oh? I am uncertain about the date you share. Forgive me if I thought you meant their launch date as I think that they were launched earlier than that...

Voyager 2 was actually the first of the twin probes to be launched, lifting off on August 20, 1977, from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Although launched second on September 5, 1977.

you are correct, I left a detail out of my post by mistake.

I was referring to this, I saw it at the time.
