re: Hmmm, you were involved with the pioneer missions?

No, but I wish I did. I have always had a strong interest in the Pioneer probes going back to before the time the launched.

I did save most of the Pioneer Plaque exhibit at the Boston Museum of Science from oblivion back in 1999, if that means anything. Thye were just going to get rid of it - not give it to a museum with a smaller budget or a school - and had replaced the exhibit, which had been there since 1974, with a lame SETI@Home setup. This is not a smack against SETI@Home, but I don't consider two PCs running the program continuously with almost no other info a good science exhibit.

You can see what the Pioneer Plaque exhibit looked like here:
