I've just been watching a very interesting account of the travels of Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. They set off from Earth in the 70s. They're still going strong today, and in something like 30,000 years, they'll leave our solar system.
Of course, by that time it is quite possible that the planet Earth will no longer exist, we having blown ourselves apart.
The whole of Gaza Strip has now been razed to the ground, and I imagine that two million people are sleeping under the stars, huddled under torn blankets, with no food, disease creeping over them all, the scent of death filling the air.
Just imagine the scene that will be captured by the world's cameras when we get in to Camp Gaza and find all these living skeletons with their sunken eyes staring back at us.
Perhaps if images can be beamed out to Voyager, these will be some of the memories sent from a dead and distant planet.
