Speeding Ticket
FYI: The (second) fastest object created by man will soon be reaching the edge of Haupertonian Controlled Space. Roughly 6.5 billion miles out. Since August 20, 1977, Voyager II has been zipping along and expanding MY sphere of influence. V1, of course, is moving at 3.6AU/yr and is 8.7 billion miles out. I cannot lay claim to V1 since VII is a much cooler name. VII is going a bit slower though ... 3.3AU/yr. Probably because it is transporting a relay for the feed for this blog. None the less, soon, All your base are belong to us!
