Voyager - Your Favorite Space-bot

Before the rant/note of affection, I am just going to take a moment and talk about April.

April was a very slow month on the blog. Mainly because I am hard to motivate on days that last longer than 17 hrs, with little of that time under my control.

That is now over, so it will be back to at least a post a day.

Now for the poll - you chose Voyager as your favorite space-bot.

Even though only 11 people voted this time around, I think that Voyager is a fair choice.

Why? The ship that opened up the outer solar system not only was a good piece of tech, but has also become a cultural icon of the last days of the proto-space age.

Not until we get a little further out from Near Earth Orbit will the Martian twins take centre stage.

So what am I saying? Good choice on Voyager, but your kids will be talking about Spirit and Opportunity.

Or at least my kids... when I press them into speaking with their geek-dad.

As for the shut-out of Dextre - don't take it to hard, buddy, you'll get your time in the limelight before the ISS gets decommissioned.
