At least the voyager is clearly plodding along towards the Oort Cloud and eventually out of the solar system. Sadly I will be long dead and hopefully these comments will still live on (300 year estimate for Oort Cloud at its current speed of 1M miles a day).

Or "water discovered on Mars"

New dental treatment will eliminate cavities.
