if any of you follow space travel, you will know this Thursday marks the first orbital test flight of NASA's new manned deep space rocket, the Orion Space Vehicle. it will be perched atop one of the largest rockets ever assembled, the Delta 4, and by now actually is, it's completely assembled on Launch Complex 37B at Cape Canaveral. this site has a ustream feed and a countdown clock, so check it out. the next era of manned space travel is about to begin, after the retirement of the beloved Space Shuttle. "A United Launch Alliance Delta IV will herald a new era in manned Space Flight with the launch of the Orion capsule for the new Space Launch System (SLS)." "The Delta IV will be in the heavy configuration with a common core booster and two identical strap-on boosters. This will be the seventh Delta IV Heavy to launch from the Cape Canaveral launch site and the ninth overall." http://www.americaspace.com/?page_id=33925

I'd have to say fuck yeah! to this. $100 seems paltry when compared to one of the greatest and perhaps last remnants of humanity that will exist. If you've seen Star Trek The Motion Picture, or that one episode of Next Generation with the flute, you know where I'm going with this. Those records will probly outlast our planet when our Sun eventually engulfs us. Maybe we'll send something else out that far, but it doesn't seem to be a priority right now. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/22/science/nasa-voyager-golden-record-carl-sagan-kickstarter.html?&moduleDetail=section-news-2&action=click&contentCollection=Science®ion=Footer&module=MoreInSection&version=WhatsNext&contentID=WhatsNext&pgtype=article&_r=1

NASA's spacecraft Voyager one has left our solar system and is now struttin' its way through interstellar space at a speed of 61000kms and hour. It took this little guy thirty six years to break free but he's done it, happy day!! http://www.smh.com.au/technology/sci-tech/voyager-1-exits-solar-system-in-breathtaking-achievement-36-years-after-launch-20130913-2to2h.html
