55 - Cosmic Voyage(r)


Scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory
stood transfixed
at a bank of monitors
as Voyager pressed against
the foamy walls of the heliospheric bubble.
The little probe was on the verge
of piercing the outer shell of our solar system.
“I wonder what the hole in the bubble will do to us?”, one asked aloud.

Ooo, I could see that as part of a really good sci fi novel... or even just a regular novel.

I feel kind of silly now. I haven't been on blogger in some time and had no idea that G-Man is having health issues. My thoughts are with Galen and family. I hope for a speedy recovery.

Mike - I was considering a short story instead of this 55 but got lazy. If you want the facts, go to Smithsonian.com and look for the Voyager story. It is quite interesting.

I like your 55, like to know but most likely won't be around when Voyager pierces the skin of the bubble.
