The story of the men and women who drove NASAs Voyager spacecraft missionthe farthest-flung emissaries of planet Earthtold by a scientist who was there from the beginning.
Voyager 1 left our solar system in 2012  its sister craft, Voyager 2, did so in 2018. The fantastic journey began in 1977, before the first episode of Cosmos aired. The mission was planned as a grand tour beyond the moon  beyond Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune  and maybe even into interstellar space. The fact that it actually happened makes this humanitys greatest space mission.
In The Interstellar Age, award-winning planetary scientist Jim Bell reveals what drove and continues to drive the members of this extraordinary team, including Ed Stone, Voyagers chief scientist and the one-time head of NASAs Jet Propulsion Lab  Charley Kohlhase, an orbital dynamics engineer who helped to design many of the critical slingshot maneuvers around planets that enabled the Voyagers to travel so far  and the geologist whose Earth-bound experience would prove of little help in interpreting the strange new landscapes revealed in the Voyagers astoundingly clear images of moons and planets.
Speeding through space at a mind-bending eleven miles a second, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are now beyond our solar systems planets, the first man-made objects to go interstellar. By the time Voyager passes its first star in about 40,000 years, the gold record on the spacecraft, containing various music and images including Chuck Berrys Johnny B. Goode, will still be playable.
