I find it incredible that a craft launched before I was even born can still be returning data about the furthest reaches of our system. A few questions, if you have the time:

• I recall in Aug-Sep 2012 that suspicions were raised about Voyager 1 crossing the heliopause, due to the levelling off of ion density around the craft. What's changed in the intervening year, to take that suspicion and confirm it for you?

• Is there any more science that Voyager can do, considering that it's running very few of its original instruments and low on power? Specifically, is there any point in shooting even one frame from its forward camera?

• New Horizons is blasting past the Pluto-Charon system in a couple of years; was it ever engineered to do the kind of science that Voyager is engaged in, and is it on the cards for that mission?

• Is there anything that I can do, as a 30-year-old English programmer and electronics hobbyist? (In other words, are you hiring from overseas?)

Thanks again for taking the time to drop in!

I've always seen guidance to the effect of it being "my wife and I", in the vein of "the king and I". Is there a difference between those two usages?
