Voyager is so happy, because it\u2019s the bravest satellite of all. It has gone the furthest. And it\u2019s not lonely, because it\u2019s talking to us. It phones home. And it tells us all about the wonderful things that it\u2019s seeing. \u2026There\u2019s a whole universe to explore, and it\u2019s just leaving our Solar System right now. It\u2019s very brave and very lucky to be doing what it\u2019s doing, so it\u2019s not going to get lost. It\u2019s traveled further than anything we\u2019ve ever built has traveled before. It\u2019s actually showing us the way. \u2026<\/p>\n

It might have been safer for it to just stay home, and stay inside a building, but then it would have been sad forever, because it never would have done its purpose. It never would have discovered things. It\u2019s all a wonderful story of great discovery and success, and it couldn\u2019t have happened if Voyager hadn\u2019t been brave\u2026<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not really the fact that everything always has a start and an end, it\u2019s what happens in the middle that counts. What do you while you\u2019re alive? What do you do while you\u2019re laughing? And I think we\u2019re doing exactly what makes Voyager joyful and as happy as it could be. <\/p>\n

Think about the fact that you\u2019re a little bit like Voyager. In that you\u2019re going to go see the world, and you\u2019re going to call your mom on the phone and tell her about the wonderful things that you see. \u2026 You wouldn\u2019t want to spend your whole life hiding under your bed and never seeing anything in your whole life, you want to be able to do what makes you happy and joyful and learn about things to discover. You might be the person that discovers something really important for everybody else on the world, but you can never discover that if you just hide and only do things that are safe. So think about yourself a little bit like Voyager. What makes you laugh? It\u2019s not just staying, hiding underneath your bed safely at home.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
