 Pioneer10.com is the personal web space of Duane King. The domain name Pioneer10 was chosen because the spacecraft represents man's never-ending need to explore. |
 In 1972, Pioneer 10 was launched, carrying earth's first space probe to an outer planet. Like a message in a bottle, it carries a plaque intended to show scientifically educated inhabitants of other star systems when it was launched, from where, and by what kind of beings. Pioneer 10 became the first man-made object to escape our solar system in 1983 when it passed the farthest known planet searching for the heliopause. |

From best-selling video games like Quake III Arena & Return to Castle Wolfenstein to memories of watching Fantasy Island & lunch with Colonel Sanders, no subject is off-limits. |
