To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

There's been a bit of noise and news regarding the Voyager probe approaching the start of interstellar space.
Right now she's about 122 AU from Earth, and that's in 35 years (these numbers are from memory, feel free to correct). Based on those figures, we're looking at about 3.5 AU per year.
So in the year 3200, Voyager could be around 4250 AU away from Sol (another disclaimer - the error bars on that figure would be unbelieveably huge).
That would be quite an Easter Egg, hmmm?
Hi Bugbear
If you fancy converting these free models to add to the game you could have your hearts desire (Pioneer Probe is here also 😉 )
Even if we included it... the probability of your stumbling across it would be small, approaching zero.
Yeah, I doubt that anyone will ever play that gold record. Still, that's what would make it a great Easter Egg, especially if it was programmed so that nobody could be exactly sure of where it was. If a player found it and scooped it up they could make a fortune from selling it due to its historical value!
Thats a great idea Marcel!
Hey don't forget there's two of 'em to find 🙂

Gotta catch em all!
Hmm, that may cut the value in half. :haha:
