So Much For Government Not Working

Apparently, somebody forgot to tell Voyager I that, as a government-designed, publicly funded, NASA-launched project, it was supposed to have three strikes against it and be a miserable failure.  As a result of listening to everything in the universe but that negativity, it's become the first human-created object to exit the Solar System and keep on working.

I feel certain that somewhere, beyond the final frontier, Gene Roddenberry is smiling.  Especially since he predicted something fairly similar in 1979.
