He aint gonna wash, which is understandable, but still ewww.

He's also going to take 5 minute power naps from time to time.

Thanks for that link....my uncle used to drive up to Mojave to see where Voyager was at during the flight. This is cool.

^^^^ Wish I had thought to look up when he was over SoCal. Not that I would have seen him, of course. :) A) He was too high and too small and B) he was south of here anyway.

Now he's over the Gulf, heading straight for St. Petersburg, FL.

He's on the ground after broadcasting a mayday according to the official website.

He diverted to land at Bournemouth after some kind of generator problem.
