I'm more awed that we now have 2 probes in interstellar space. That, to me, is the greatest scientific achievement to date.
Yes, that is another amazing achievement. In fact, I just watched a cool documentary about how they recently (and successfully) had to reprogram some code on Voyager 1, because a chip had stopped working, so it could continue to send data back to Earth. Absolutely cool stuff!!

Imagine trying to do something like that, when it takes more than 32 hours to get find out if it worked?
