\"\" The spacecraft Voyager 1 is the furthest man made object from Earth & is miraculously still transmitting data 0ver 35 years after it’s launch in 1977.<\/p>\n

As it travels out of the solar system and heads for deep space we can only marvel at the journey of this object which has passed close to the asteroid belt, Jupiter & Saturn and has provided extensive scientific knowledge about our solar system.<\/p>\n

It is well worth reminding ourselves of Innovation back on Planet Earth since\u00a0 1977.<\/p>\n

The first commercially available mobile phone went on sale in 1983.<\/p>\n

The Internet was in it’s infancy in 1977 & didn’t become widely available until the 1990’s.<\/p>\n

The World Wide Web did not exist until 1991.<\/p>\n

The first commercially available personal computers only appeared in the late 1970’s & had a fraction of the computing power of today’s machines.<\/p>\n

This makes the achievements of the\u00a0 Voyager programme all the more remarkable.<\/p>\n
