Sure, Armstrong's walk on the Moon was remarkable.  Our space exploits helped bankrupt the Soviet Union, leading to the end of the Cold War.  Yes, the James Webb Space Telescope is doing wonders.   However, maybe the most impressive NASA space project has to be those two Voyagers hurtling into interstellar space.  You can keep track of their status  here .  Voyager 1 is 14.8 billion miles and Voyager II is 12.4 billion miles away from Planet Earth.  They are moving along at 38,027 miles/hour (I) and 34,391 MPH (II).  It has been more than 45 years since they were launched.  Light would take more than 22 hours to reach Voyager I.  Every day they move away by another three to four light-seconds.   See Voyager I's path . Tim Folger has an excellent article in the July 2022 issue of  Scientific American , entitled  Record-Breaking Voyager Spacecraft Begin to Power Down .  I'd recommend you read it, but the story is so extraordinary that I feel compelled to summarize the essence

We've all met famous people in our life.  For many, a movie or rock star is memorable.  I'm not into that, but the closest for me was when Nancy Sinatra and Tommy Sands swam in our backyard in Kilauea, Kauai.  Princess Diana and her entourage sat right above our box for a stage show in the West End.  Looked like the crowd below was waving, in that British way, to us, so we waved back.  The electricity of the moment when she got into her limousine is unforgettable. My famous people are scientists.  I worked for Edward Teller at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and saw him twice in Honolulu.  He had come over to tout the potential of placing wind energy conversion devices at the top of the Koolau mountain range, for which which he was disparaged, and met a group of us at the Manoa Campus of the University of Hawaii.  He worked on the Manhattan Project, which led to him later building a Hydrogen Bomb. The second encounter was for breakfast at the Hyatt Waikiki.  I had kn
