SPACE TRAVEL WRITERS AND SATELLITE SERVICES

IT APPEARS THAT Voyager I, the furthest man-made object from Earth, if you discount people kidnapped by aliens, may have detected something amazing in a galaxy far far away during its period of interstellar isolation.

The hardy probe, which has been ploughing through space since the 1970s, is said to have picked up traces of an object travelling so fast that its speed is measured only in distance, which means its been warping the space in front of it and/ or using holes of one kind or another to overcome the speed of light prohibition which normally polices travel in the Universe. And the warped, short-cut distance was less than ten parsecs for a full eighteen parsecs completed.

“We have all be scratching our heads,” said a NASA scientist. “This is truly weird. But I think we may just have tracked the Millenium Falcon, only someone has improved its performance. The data is miniscule, and we can’t orientate the probe again without risking loss of all communication between us and it. So we’re left gasping, wondering … was that the Kessel Run?”
