What Would Happen If Voyager 1 Crashed on an Alien Planet

If Voyager 1 crashed on an alien planet, the event would begin with a paradox: the spacecraft most associated with deep time would meet a sudden local ending. The real Voyager 1 is nowhere near such an encounter. NASA launched it on September 5, 1977, from Cape Canaveral aboard a Titan IIIE-Centaur launch vehicle. It flew past Jupiter in 1979, passed Saturn in 1980, and then left the plane where most planets orbit the Sun.
