more like space feels.

Hey, do you think if we ever develop cheap and fast space travel, we will go retrieve Voyager and
put it in a museum?

It's a fairly good mockup of what NASA Mission Control sees when they send a periodic querey to a
spacecraft to assess its health - I'm sure you could tickle Google for what that stuff means.
NASA doesn't run secret projects, all their effort is public domain.
Check out NASA World Wind if you like simulators:

Read the projected timeline. I don't know why, but I feel it's kind of sad to think that
somewhere within 15 years, it'll lose the ability to power any single instrument, and all it'll
be able to do in its blind and deaf state is daily self-checks.

Probably. If we ever develop FTL travel, someone's bound to take an interest. On the other hand,
maybe it'd be neat to leave it as mark of history. In the game Elite:Dangerous, if you follow an
unmarked signal on the edge of the Sol system for like fifteen minutes in supercruise, you'll
find the Voyager 2, labeled as an "Ancient probe".

POST of course is Power-On Self Test
RTG = radioisotope thermoelectric generator
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1992AIPC..246..177H
RSS = radio science subsystem
http://pds-rings.seti.org/voyager/rss/vg1sinst.html
and JPL provides a nice overview and details:

just a little too young to remember the first Moon landing in '69, but I remember the later
missions, and yes, it fueled every child's imagination.
Intelligence was also more respected; you simply don't find the level of sophistication in
today's toys. We had chemistry sets and physics labs and electronics kits... you simply don't see
these anymore.
That generation is who gave us today's internet - and the recipients have shat all over it, and
have lost the wonder and imagination.
Sometimes I wish I could have hitched a ride with Voyager.

Is this track on the 'Sounds of Earth' disk that's on-board voyager?
