No, I haven't been fired and I'm not dying. "Termination shock" is the boundary in space where the solar wind meets the incoming interstellar wind, and Voyager 2 is there and is recording it.
If you think that our government is fubar and can't do anything right, go read this. This is awesome. These space travellers have been going for 31 years and are still sending information back home, telling us things about a universe that is vast beyond imagination. Something is squashing our solar system, and we don't know what. Wow.
Wow, indeed. How much we don't know!!
