Voyager 1 is the loneliest pioneer humanity has ever launched, and it is still flying perfectly, forty-eight years later, on a course set in 1977 that has never needed a single correction.Imagine that: on September 5, 1977, a 825-kilogram golden spacecraft lifted off from Cape Canaveral. Engineers gave it one decisive push with gravity assists from Jupiter and Saturn, then essentially said, “Go. We’ll never touch you again.” And it listened. For thirty-seven straight years (until the first tiny trim in 2017, only to align the antenna), Voyager 1 hurtled through space without a single thruster firing to fix its path. Not one. That’s like throwing a paper airplane from New York and having it glide untouched through a window in Paris, four decades later.Right now, in December 2025, Voyager 1 is 163 times farther from the Sun than Earth is, more than 24.4 billion kilometers away, the farthest human-made object in history. It crossed the heliopause (the Sun’s protective bubble) in 2012 and is now sailing through true interstellar space, where the wind between the stars is colder than anything we can create on Earth. Yet its trajectory is still so impeccable that the flight team jokes the spacecraft could hit a cosmic bullseye drawn half a century https://t.co/Ivypyn1uvT has already given us the pale blue dot photo, the first portraits of Jupiter’s raging storms and Saturn’s rings in impossible detail, and the discovery that moons like Io and Titan are worlds stranger than fiction. Now, with its power fading to barely four watts (less than a refrigerator lightbulb), it still whispers data back across the void on a 23-watt signal that takes 22 hours and 55 minutes to reach us, one-way.Voyager 1 isn’t just a probe. It’s a message in a bottle flung toward the galaxy, carrying the sounds of Earth (whales, Chuck Berry, and a baby’s cry) on its golden record. And it’s still flying straight, as if to prove that human foresight, once aimed true, can outrun time itself.Out there in the dark, a tiny golden speck keeps its ancient promise: keep going, perfectly, forever.
Alien Romulus has the most racist message I’ve ever seen in a movie. They cast the one black guy as a slave-like character and shit on him the entire movie. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
I'll take this one.
The idea that affirmative action or diversity, equity & inclusion policies equal lower standards is something that a lot of people believe.
Instead of citing what "I believe" like Elon did, let's use facts & a something I like to called "math"
A thread.
I love how “the Blacks” get stuff because of affirmative action and DEI
But 99% of Fortune 500 execs, 45/46 presidents, 99.9% of all Senators & fed judges ever, every Harvard president & all those white meemaws & pawpaws got their stuff bc of hard work, intelligence & ability

Don't expect this to get many eyes, but this is the first album and soundtrack I've ever had released. I'm pretty hype and proud of it.
