   Hi,   
       
   PQ> On Sun, 30 Jun 13, you wrote to me:   
       
   PQ>PQ>>RN> Voyager 1 Approaches Interstellar Space   
       
   PQ>PQ>> It is always great to hear news of the Voyager craft, even the   
   PQ>PQ>> second time around.  (Is this not a dupe from just the other   
   PQ>PQ>> day?)   
       
   PQ>RN> It read familiar to me, too.   
       
   PQ> It was exactly the same as your earlier copy, 'MSGID: 1:3828/7 a4064665'.   
   PQ> Maybe DeeBwidge misplaced it?   
       
   I can't find "a4064665" in my archives.  However, I think what happened was   
   this:  I have three hd's in tis system.  One is a backup drive (E:), one has   
   XP on it (C:) and the third has W7 (G:).  In the gradual switchover from XP to   
   W7, which uses a different

   PQ> to   
   PQ>RN> whether V'ger has actually left the Solar System.   
       
   PQ> To my simplistic way of thinking, they left the Solar System when they   
   PQ> traversed the Oort cloud.  Anything since is just idle drooling by   
   PQ> propeller-head NASA geeks.   
       
   PQ>RN> I do recall an article about it from early December of last year.   
   PQ>RN> Would you like me to reprint it?   
       
   PQ> No thanks.  Not required, as it's here still ('Voyager 1 Tastes   
   PQ> Interstellar Space').  I have posts dating back to December 2005   
   PQ> herewith.   
       
   PQ>RN> Also, I read many, many years ago about some scientist's theory   
   PQ> about   
   PQ>RN> the jump to outer space.  I don't recall who it was or even if it   
   PQ> was   
   PQ>RN> factual because I read a lot of science fiction back then.  It had   
   PQ> to   
   PQ>RN> do with the "space jump" and how nothing living would survive it,   
   PQ> but   
   PQ>RN> they (presumably humans) would return to life a short time later   
   PQ> when   
   PQ>RN> the jump was complete.  I think it was called the theory of the   
   PQ> space   
   PQ>RN> warp or something like that.   
       
   PQ> This sounds very much like 1940s-ish SF.  (Quite similar to the hype   
   PQ> surrounding breaking the sound 'barrier'.)  Send more, over...
