So, after 42 years, Voyager 2 has finally left 'our' solar system and entered interstellar space. That statistic alone demonstrates quite adequately, why humans are never likely to 'conquer' space !!! - if it takes more than 42 years just to get to the edge of 'our' solar system !!! https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2019/11/...h-launched-42-years-ago-reaches-interstellar/
Nice Job NASA alerting some malevolent alien race to our presence in the Solar system. They can retrace the probes trajectory and follow it back to earth with evil intent, and destroy our way of life.
NASA already has satellites that will over take it and is working on a warp drive. The warp drive is only in the first experimental stages, but it works as far as they can figure out. Theoretically, you could send a satellite to another star using a warp drive and, when it gets there, it can establish something like a Star Gate you can walk through from one planet to the other. Thus far, humanity has barely dipped its toe in that cold ocean. The moon is 330,000 miles away, Mars is 33 million, Jupiter is half a billion miles away, and everything just gets further apart after that. We need something better than the rockets we have now, which are basically giant thermos bottles.
Boffins hand in their homework on Voyager 2's first readings from beyond Solar System NASA Has Found a Weird, Unexplained Boundary in Interstellar Space
The first Voyager took pictures of the magnetic field or bubble around the solar system, which resembles giant hexagons. What they found this time is that near the leading edge in the direction our solar system is moving, the solar wind on the inside pushes outward at a million miles per hour, while the galactic or interstellar wind blows from the outside, creating a pressurized layer of gas, like our solar system is surrounded by a bubble. Chaotic physics must fit in there somewhere, but this is all new territory. It was just recently they discovered Jupiter's poles are hexagons and the sun has maybe twenty magnetic poles at any given moment, and the theories they're working with are not good enough to predict such things. My own opinion, is the entire solar system and our planet earth appear to resemble ecologies and living organism the longer we study them, and the Chaotic physics in particular are what tell the story of how it all works. The inner and outer planets, for example, have different chaotic dynamics in their orbits.
