 "Voyager is in interstellar space — the space between the stars." - Dr. Ed Stone, Voyager Project Scientist
 We've heard it a few times already, but now NASA has finally confirmed it - Voyager has reached interstellar space a the first man made object. This is a profound moment in human history, up there with the first circumnavigation of the planet Earth, the first spaceflight, and the first human on another celestial object (the Moon). But I fear it will largely go unnoticed in today's world of multimedia celeb gossip - ask people in 5 years time where they were when it was announced that mankind had managed to send an object out of the solar system and they'll look at you with a puzzled face.
Many centuries from now some civilization will find this golden disk - maybe it will be a human civilization retracing their roots. All we know today is that it has finally made it's way to the interstellar medium; traveling among the stars.
