You win the prize for getting everything in the same Guide Entry but the kitchen sink.
Seriously, though - it's a beautiful summary of the Voyagers and what they're packing.

This is like a Christmas ! Loads of different nice things in it.
The pictures are amazing, particularly the U-Tube video. Abstract art and science together. Wow!

Thank you mvp
I have so many entries I want to write, I think linking 3 or 4 subjects together is the way to go - it makes them unique on the 'web and shortens the list quicker...

I did think this was a Dmitri Entry from the title, as DG likes to get the keywords in early
I applaud this Entry, as it tells an excellent tale of the Voyagers' journey that complements the Entry about the Voyagers themselves
The only thing I wondered was whether you need a footnote on Nixon to link his name strongly with the Tricky Dicky of the title.

Yes, young people have no idea of ancient history...
Did the British call Mr Nixon 'Tricky Dicky'? On the other side of the pond, it was 'Tricky Dick'.

Ah! I see I subbed your Elvis/Tricky Entry A87804363 and didn't strengthen the link between the title and the text, but maybe the Richard/Dick link seemed strong enough at the time... Tricky Dicky is how I think of Nixon's nickname as a general rule, though, so that is rather amusing

Thanks Sasha! I tried not to use the same info as in the Voyagers' main entry.
>>Did the British call Mr Nixon 'Tricky Dicky'? On the other side of the pond, it was 'Tricky Dick'<<
Absolutely we did, "Dick" is a derogatory term (not just for someone called Richard) over this side of the pond.
I don't think a footnote is necessary as people will be attracted to the entry by the title and I thought it was funny, too
