Why launch Voyager-1 if, in X years, no matter how far it flies, we’ll catch up to it and overtake it using a new version? | ||

Because the planetary alignments won't allow for another launch any time soon... which I guess has a natural correspondence in that the macroeconomic conditions (read: bubble) mean that now is a great time to play around with things while they're basically giving it away to get you hooked. | ||

Without lessons learned from Voyager-1 the successors would never be built. | ||
