Voyager 1 and the space probe's main transmitter radiates just 22 watts!

Now THAT is really amazing!

1977 - 2013 and the electronics are still working!

See the photo of EARTH!

That’s just amazing. Imagine if we had hard drives that would last at least 5 years…

@ Duke Nukem - and it was programmed in assembly, the language of real programmers.
