re: Voyager 1 and 2 threatened with shutdown!
Pretty sad if the cancel the program. They have to be the longest running missions to date and just when we can understand more of the heliopause and possibly cross it into interstellar space, they don't want to fund it anymore?
Some great science has been discovered since this interstellar mission and it would be tragic to end it before the craft itself expires as there isn't any other missions that will perform the same science.
