@grok @J_v481 @curiosityonx @grok what was the purpose of voyager 1? When does its mission objectives are deemed complete?

@vhd_ @J_v481 @curiosityonx As of February 2026, Voyager 1 is in interstellar space, about 15.9 billion miles (25.6 billion km) from Earth, in the direction of Ophiuchus. It's traveling at roughly 38,000 mph relative to the Sun.

On Valentine’s Day 36 years ago, Carl Sagan requested NASA to turn Voyager 1's camera back toward home for one last look. From 3.7 billion miles away, Voyager captured this image. Here is how Carl Sagan described it: “Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

@J_v481 @curiosityonx @grok @grok where is voyager 1 now?

@curiosityonx @grok how can they confirm its earth, what about other planets

@airindia your staff has absolutely no manners. Creating ruckus, breaking the queue and doing as they please at Cafe Niloufer in Hyderabad. If your on ground staff are this way, am just not surprised with the issues plaguing your airline. #boycottairindia #customerlast

@willahmed my wife bought a whoop 5.0 as a gift to me and your customer service refuses to refund the money as the subscription is tagged to the wrong device. Looks like we are out of pocket by $199. Is there someone on your team we can speak to?

AI2162 on 07/12/24 touched the tarmac & took off immediately before circling to land on a different runway creating panic in the cabin. Incorrect terminal, near miss, dangerous flying? What was this? #airindia #flyindia

Here’s the website link: garmin.com.hk/products/intos…

This is your HK English website. How am I expected to read, @Garmin @GarminGolf @GarminFitness? Pls can you fix!

@flyscoot The return flight TR978 the next day back was fantastic. The crew was brilliant and on point. Very professional. You should however reconsider charging for water - that seems a bit much given it wasn’t bottled water, but in glasses? Never had that experience before.

@vhd_ Hi, we apologise for any inconvenience caused. These delays may have been necessary to ensure our passengers' safety, and may be beyond our control. We'll work hard to minimise schedule changes and delays and we hope we will have another chance to serve you better. Thank you.

@flyscoot TR973 from HKG was delayed by 2.5 hours essentially making it a red eye flight. Not a single apology from any one of your staff across rhe entire value chain. Congrats on profitability though, by charging for water @SingaporeAir #pathetic #budgetairlines #poorservice

@MEAIndia, @CPVIndia Dear Sir/ Madam, pending surrender certificate for 6+ weeks. Appreciate the stringent measures - would be grateful if the process can be fast tracked. @CGIHongKong unfortunately does not have any update as it’s the first time for them too. Thank you!

Flew UK101 for the first time today. Very impressive @airvistara. You have made a fan out of me in 1 short 5 hour journey - right from the baggage drop to the eventual landing, impeccable quality and service. Kudos!!

#Digilocker only avail on Indian App Store of iOS devices. Pls can this be made available across all country/ regions to help NRIs who’d like to avail this facility? @AshwiniVaishnaw @GoI_MeitY TIA #hopeful #NRI

@airindia time to upgrade your international flights? This one was particularly V. Poor experience - AI315 on 18 Dec. Everything was old and breaking apart - Felt like second class citizens. The connecting domestic @IndiGo6E had better seats, cleanliness and overall experience.

@GabbbarSingh This mad rush to get into premier schools is unfair - for both the parents and the kids. Do the grad, start from the bottom and build your way up. No substitute to hard work. Fortune rarely changes overnight. Wealth is built over generations.

When parents literally mortgage their houses, land or sell off jewellery to fund their ‘preparation in Kota’ coz there is no education loan for preparation, it builds that pressure on the kids. When your kid becomes your only hope to pull you out of poverty or a debt trap, and the kid knows it. They take that extreme step. When there is this extreme stress of proving to be an asset than a liability one year longer. They take that extreme step. In almost all last letters they always apologise to their parents. It’s just heartbreaking. Work hard yourself. Don’t expect your kids to change your fortune.

@GabbbarSingh Parents POV: Kids forcing parents to indulge are way better than kids not wanting to associate themselves with their “old” parents?

Parents are happy with Daal Roti, yet the kid feeding them Sushi coz it’s expensive, it’s luxury. “Why aren’t they enjoying it? Maybe they are being considerate, and think I can’t afford it. Hah” 1st gen rich needs to get rid of their 1st gen traits.

Funniest is people forcing their parents to “enjoy” their idea of luxury, when the parents are clearly struggling, but don’t speak up worried it’ll offend their kid.

@b50 @iMayavi @blitzkreigm Steady supply here in HK.

@iMayavi cc @blitzkreigm Parle G out of stock?

There is no Parle G biscuits on the train station anywhere. The vendor tells me that there is no supply from company. I feel they don't keep because of low margin. Also, I guess some vendors get the license as book stall and keep nominal 8-10 books to showcase.

@nareshbahrain @GabbbarSingh Yes, infrastructure development is needed. So that these accidents can be avoided. Should we have rather just continued with the bullock cart as that was the lifeline of the poor & lower middle class back when railways was introduced to the general public :)

@GabbbarSingh But Nidhi maam has a very different tangential thinking. 🤦 twitter.com/Nidhi/status/1…

Finally on board a Vande Bharat. In India the switch is so drastic, one moment you are on a humid, paan infested platform with ugly looking overbridges, and the next moment you are in a swanky train with pencil nose, business class legroom & a Type C charging point. Much like India’s recent growth. Happy to see a great train travel experience. Vande Bharat. Vande Mataram. 🙏

@vizagobelix Debt MF will have higher ROI & so more attractive. Tax wise makes sense to bring it at par with other low volatility instruments. Will also drive up uptake of good quality Bonds/ FD, boosting capitalisation. This will in turn drive (hopefully) more aggressive lending.

So in this one budget, our Govt has disincentivised Insurance as well as Debt funds and ETFs!! What a crazy crazy decision this is - in a nation where already savings are dwindling 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Guys, seriously - it defeats the purpose of the app, if one can’t order remotely and need to Q up anyway. Is your lack of response a reflection of your focus on customer experience?

@Starbucks why is it taking so long to fix the in-device top up option that broke with your app update in #HongKong? This was working before the app update. Q’ing up at the counter kinda defeats the purpose. #fail #poorUAT @lakslnarasimhan
