À propos de ce film

The Voyager space launch in 1977 is one of humankind's greatest achievements. More than twelve billion miles away, a tiny spaceship is leaving our Solar System and entering the void of deep space - the first human-made object ever to do so. Slowly dying within its heart is a nuclear generator that will beat for perhaps another decade before the lights on Voyager finally go out. But this little craft will travel on for millions of years, carrying a Golden Record bearing recordings and images of life on Earth. In all likelihood Voyager will outlive humanity. From Crossing The Line Productions, The Farthest celebrates these magnificent machines, the men and women who built them and the vision that propelled them farther than anyone could ever have hoped.

Notes et avis

I remember seeing each encounter as a child on childrens tv as they happened spell bound . This Documentry opened up another layer of discovery .

Excellent, touching and humbling, you have to see if any interest in space and our legacy as a species.

Fantastic documentary. Never realised how lucky they got to make the mission a 100% success.
