Voyager 2 was only expected to last for five years, but it's still operating 42 years after launch.

Amazing, isn't it? I hope it lasts for more than a few years, though.

What is strange is that long after our planet does not exist, that little spacecraft may still rattling around the universe. It may be the only artifact, which proves that we ever existed.

There's other stuff floating around out there, from us too. I remember when Dr. Carl Sagan designed this plaque to go up
in '72 and '73.

Something else went up later with binary codes.

A gold record was also sent into space with Earth Sounds on one of the Voyagers-
Cover

It contains images, music sounds and greetings from Earth.

Most of our appliances are also designed to last five years and last about 8 months. Maybe an alien ship will capture a Voyager then take to Pawn Stars to sell.
