I have a question .....
	If something the size of a voyager, presumably not radiating
much radio energy, were to enter our solar system from an alien
culture, is the possibility of us detecting it more than miniscule ?

I just wonder it would burn up in the sun unnoticed. If this happens,
it would make all Carl Sagan's artistic work of a man and a woman
rather pointless, and just a waste of NASA's budget.
