I went down a Voyager rabbit hole again. And I came up with a factoid that entertains me.

The original Grand Tour program was canceled in late 1971, due to congressional pressure over cost. Voyager was the cheaper mission to just Jupiter and Saturn.

Voyager and its team are incredible, and they managed to pull off the entire grand tour anyway, and then 34 years and counting more science after that.

There's a good chance Voyager might outlive the entire congress that killed the grand tour.
