.......Pioneer Mission
.....Since its launch,
six presidents have held office, wars
have been fought and ended, the Soviet
empire has |
crumbled and
astronauts who walked the moon have
become old men. But Pioneer 10 is like
that famous battery bunny it’s still
going. .....Launched
on March 2, 1972, Pioneer 10 is now more
than 6 billion miles from Earth. It is
still moving at a rate of half-million
miles a day.
.....NASA
scientists stopped sending instructions
to Pioneer
