Like even I looking at it going, that can't be real.

The major goal was definitely to see the giant planets.

Why have two spacecraft?

Why not just have one?

Hello, welcome to the supermassive podcast from the Royal Astronomical Society, with me,

science journalist, Izzy Clark, and astrophysicist Dr. Becky Smedhurst.

That's me. Last month, it was all about interstellar space. So this month, inspired by listener Saraj,

we're going to feature the most famous spacecraft to leave the solar system,

Voyager 1 and 2.

How have these shapes our understanding of the solar system and what lies beyond?

And how are they getting all as well?

We'll be speaking with Deputy Project Scientist of the Voyager mission,

Dr. Jamie Rankin to cover

the basics plus, and this is very exciting, Andrian creative director of NASA's Voyager

Interstellar Message Project, who worked with her husband, Carl Sagan, to produce the golden

records attached to both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 will be here as well.

I was so excited.

And obviously the biggest of our stellar lineup is Robert Massey, the deputy director

of the Royal Astronomicals aside.

It depends on your definition of biggest, was she just giving it down?

True. If you did it by weight, possibly.
