Where Will the Voyagers Go Next?
NASA’s Voyager spacecraft are traveling on an escape trajectory from the Sun, and are now on a journey that will take them through the outer reaches of the Solar System and out into the Milky Way Galaxy.
They carry on board the Golden Records, a message from all humankind out into the cosmos.
In the thousands, millions and even billions of years of travel, where will they go? What will they see? Who might find them, and learn about us, long after we’re gone?

And in case you missed it, I had a fascinating conversation with science journalist George Dvorsky about futurism and transhumanism.

Hey frasier, I have a question. Could an advanced civilization use orbital rings to speed up the rotation of a tidally locked planet, if so how long would it take?
That's a really interesting idea. Anything orbiting more quickly than the length of planetary day will speed up the rotation of the planet.
