After the walk on our own moon, we began exploring new worlds by remote control, using more and more advanced spacecraft. Among the most successful missions was Voyager II. Launched in 1977, Voyager II explored the outer planets and their weird moons, moving ever deeper into space, into regions completely mysterious to us Earthlings. On board is a gold-coated phonograph record,containing one hundred and sixteen images of Earth and its inhabitants, ninety minutes of music, and an audio essay of Earth sounds. The pace of technology has been so rapid, that Voyager's computing capabilities are outdated, equal to just a fraction of a domestic PC. The computer subsystems on Voyager contain a total of only thirty-three thousand words of memory storage. In 1976, the search for life and the exploration of the solar system continued with the Viking mission. Its destination was Mars. The mission, to land robot explorers on the Red Planet.
