How cool is this!
The Voyager 2 probe might be the first man-made object to leave our solar system. The probe is about 3 times as far away from the Sun as Pluto. This will give us our first look at what's outside our solar system, and possibly make contact with a species that will come and assimilate our culture and technology into their own. The probe is expected to take a few years to accomplish this, and I'm sure will be huge for geeks around the world.
I wonder if the housing market will be better out there?

Dude, this isn't the first man made object to leave; The Egyptians, Mayans and some folks from Peru each had advanced cultures that likely left this rock and got assimilated!
Still, this is VERY cool!
