And in another 2000 years it will still discover SFA out there. Amazing.

Well, hopefully it won't suffer the same fate as Pioneer 10 is supposed to do in the year 2287.

Not to worry though, there's no chance whatsoever that it will reach Klingon territory by that time.


Quote:
Though depicted as being destroyed in Klingon territory in the late 23rd century, in actuality the spacecraft's speed is so slow it will not reach Aldebaran for two million years. On its current trajectory, by 2287, Pioneer 10 would be roughly 820 AU from Earth (about 0.012 light years).
