The Farthest: Voyager in Space

A finalist in four categories in Jackson Hole WILD’s 2018 Science Media Awards, this captivating documentary tells the tale of NASA’s Voyager mission. Voyager revolutionized planetary science and gave us a new understanding of the outer solar system.

Interviews with over 20 Voyager team members bring to life one of humankind’s greatest achievements in exploration, from the near-disasters at launch to the Golden Record, which carried messages and music from Earth for aliens to find in the future. Decades after taking flight, the twin spacecraft continue to transmit data, and in 2012, Voyager 1 became the first human-made object to push beyond our solar system”ushering humanity into the interstellar age.
