Folks, I just saw It’s Quieter in the Twilight, a Documentary on Voyager 1 and 2. This is a most wonderful documentary on the epic voyage and unanticipated longevity of the two NASA Voyager spacecraft. They have been traveling through space since I was a kid, boldly going where no human craft has travelled. The documentary tells their story and that of the small, aging support team of 10 or 12 folks at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

The Voyager team has managed to keep these craft operational since 1977. Several members of the team were part of the early Voyager project crews. Meanwhile, the craft have exited from the solar system and are transiting interstellar space. All the while they are sending back useful scientific data on the environment through which they are passing.

The documentary lets the team members tell the story in their own words. It reveals how they see their experience and their assessment of the project situation as of 2022-2023. The humanity of these dedicated folks really shines through. This is the story of an important part of space history and hopefully a few more years of the future as well!

The film It’s Quieter in the Twilight is directed by Billy Miossi. It stars the Voyager team members as they are. It is available via Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0BX2DSY1B/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r
