One should be careful while griping about those pitiful deep space probes:
"They can't do much. Think what a MAN could do there!"
After a LONG trip with no air, no food, little power, die.
Instead of a little camera and radio you would have the fastest ice cube
in the solar system.
Big deal. Let's see if we could manage even a poor little probe now before
cutting the past. Say, something more than 1 Clarke orbit up....
