In November 2026, a historic milestone awaits humanity's Voyager 1. The legendary probe will reach the "one light-day" mark, meaning it will be so distant that communication requires a 48-hour round trip!

Sara's Costume Codex series does a thoughtful, sex positive critique of 7 of 9's costume in Voyager. Focusing on whether it suits her character, or the show's themes, or contributes to its worldbuilding;
"It's not great to be objectifying anybody. Unless of course it serves the story. I don't think there's a clear line here. More of a spectrum, as with most things."

Whenever there's a Star Trek actor in a film, it's always a possible interpretation to say the movie is a holodeck simulation their character is playing through.
This is a roundabout way of saying Robert Picardo, who played the holographic Doctor on Star Trek: Voyager, is in tonight's film :D
Do you think The Howling (1981) comes before or after his family simulations?

Tonight! Tonight! Tonight!
🐺 Star Trek Voyager's Robert Picardo appears in his first film, The Howling, and is required to get make-up applied for a full day. But there is no time to film after that, so he has to leave the make-up on all night!
🗣️ On the Special Edition DVD, he said, "...Trained at Yale, two leading roles on Broadway. My first acting role in California, my face gets melted in a low-budget horror movie."
Don't let Picardo have suffered for nothing!

Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 is humanity’s farthest emissary, over 15 billion miles (24.8 billion km) from Earth, racing at 38,000 mph (17 km/s). It still carries the Golden Record, a time capsule of Earth’s culture, into the uncharted depths of the cosmos.

Crossing into interstellar space in 2012, Voyager 1 marked a milestone in exploration. Yet on a galactic scale, its motion is almost imperceptible. Even after drifting for a million years, it would remain within the Orion Spur, close to its origins.

To grasp the vastness of space, Voyager 1 will pass near Gliese 445 in about 40,000 years. Yet even then, it will hardly have traveled across the galaxy. One full orbit of the Milky Way would require over 400 million years—an unimaginable timescale.
