They watch the bright lights from a distance today. The headlines now go to big names with bigger bank accounts. But, they are comfortable in the quiet, it suits them. Yet this quirky team of brilliant engineers--like the Voyager spacecraft they pilot--are pushing the notion of true discovery, traveling among stars propelled only by dwindling sunlight. While the world has moved on to fancier ships and splashier front men--the celestial journey of the aging spacecraft transcends earthly boundaries--from rural South Korea, the Jim Crow South and the U.S./Mexico border to cement a joint commitment to the mission which has traveled the furthest in human history as the clock winds down.

Austin Chronicle

Miossi wisely avoids hammering home obvious connections about the age of human and machine, instead making this about how they care.

Like doctors tending to patients on life support, the Voyager team is watching their patients’ vital organs fail. One morning, they know, they will come to work, transmit a digital “Good morning” across the Solar System — and get only silence in return.

Rated: 3/5
