  THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- NOW, VOYAGER
NOW, VOYAGER ($20) is certainly one of the best movies Davis made while she was at Warner Bros. (heck they’re all good) and this DVD is even more of a treat because the quality of the presentation is nothing short of astonishing.
When we first encounter Charlotte, she is a dumpy old maid on the verge of a nervous breakdown; due to the continuous browbeating she receives from her mother (Gladys Cooper).
In fact, I’d have to say that NOW, VOYAGER is one of the most gorgeous fl and white DVDs that I’ve ever had the supreme pleasure to view.

Although their music differs greatly from their fellow locals, Now, Voyager's sound is easily digested and has been compared, by many, to Steely Dan, Boz Scaggs and today's World Music sound.
Now Voyager came together in 1991 when veteran songwriter and classical violinist, Yuri Turchyn, teamed up with drummer, Steve Gioglio, and bassist, Jim Grant, to begin recording what would become their debut CD.
Now, Voyager has used their musical versatility to perform in numerous venues, including headlining Philadelphia's famous Blue Moon Jazz Club and New York's The Bitter End.

 New Scientist News - Voyager 1 reaches the edge of the solar system   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Voyager 1 was supposed to have reached this milestone nearly three years ago but the evidence was inconclusive.
Now it has officially crossed the "termination shock", the region where the speed of the solar wind drops abruptly from supersonic to subsonic, and has entered the shell of dense solar wind called the heliosheath that separates our solar system from interstellar space.
But many scientists disagreed because Voyager 1 had not seen a concomitant and significant increase in the sun's magnetic field, a sign that solar particles are slowing down and bunching together at the termination shock.

 NOW, VOYAGER
VOYAGER is a modest tale that mostly works due to the performances of Bette Davis and Gladys Cooper.
Not only has she acquired a personality and fashion sense, she is now able to stand up for herself when faced with the wraith of her mother, a woman who constantly uses the promise of her wealth to try to control her daughter.
NOW, VOYAGER is typical of the films made in the World War 2 era that stressed self-sacrifice over love.

However, before it reaches this region, Voyager 1 must pass through the termination shock, a violent zone that is the source of beams of high-energy particles.
The Voyagers were equipped with three radioisotope thermoelectric generators to produce electrical power for the spacecrafts' systems and instruments.
Steadily operating for 26 years, the Voyagers owe their longevity to these generators, which produce electricity from the heat generated by the natural decay of plutonium dioxide.

In December 2004 Voyager 1's magnetometers observed the local magnetic field increasing by a factor of 2.5, which is expected when the solar wind slows down on the other side of the termination shock.
After traveling through the heliosheath, Voyager 1 will encounter the heliopause, a boundary region that may be as complicated as the termination shock.
Voyager 2, by contrast, appears to be far from the termination shock, the boundary that precedes the heliosphere.

At the time of Now, Voyager, Henried was under contract to RKO and was borrowed by WB for the role of Jerry Durrance.

Voyager was founded in 1985 in Stein's living room in Santa Monica, California.
Although the announcement of Voyager's demise shook up an industry that has had a difficult time finding its market niche, Stein himself doesn't think the breakup of Voyager has any wider implications for electronic publishing in general.
Voyager has long maintained a unique reputation in the industry not only because of the high quality and innovative content of its titles, but also because of the eccentric personality of its president.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Now Voyager   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
When your vacation concludes, you are now a confident, self-governing, ravishing woman who won't allow her mother to dictate her life.
Davis, of course, plays Charlotte Vale, the spinster turned world-class beauty (those hats, those shoes, those eyes — don't ever forget that Bette Davis was a gorgeous creature in her day) who runs the gamut of emotions while transforming into a tough but tender woman still bruised by her repressed past.
Watching Davis metamorphosis in Now, Voyager from a trembling, bespectacled, overweight neurotic to a striking cosmopolitan is one of cinema's great transformations — and something recent films have managed badly (think Julia Roberts' streetwalker slut to haute couture slut makeover in Pretty Woman).

 Now, Voyager (1942)
Now, Voyager (1942) is the quintessential, soap-opera or "woman's picture" ('weepie') and one of Bette Davis' best-acted and remembered films in the 40s, coming shortly after other early Davis classics including Jezebel (1938), Dark Victory (1939), The Old Maid (1939), All This and Heaven Too (1940), and The Letter (1940).
Her unglamorous portrayal of Charlotte Vale - a mousy, dowdy and overweight, frustrated, mother-hating virginal spinster early in the film is a remarkable acting achievement.
Pages of a book flip backwards to an eras-gone-by flashback where twenty-year old Charlotte is on her first voyage of love - kissing handsome ship's officer Leslie Trotter (Charles Drake) on a sunny deck: "That was a scorcher," he tells her.

 RedOrbit - Space - Voyager 1 Now at Edge of Solar System   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
After a storied, 28-year odyssey, NASA's venerable Voyager 1 spacecraft appears to have reached the edge of the solar system, a turbulent zone of near-nothingness where the solar wind begins to give way to interstellar space in a cosmic cataclysm known as "termination shock," scientists said.
Stone said project scientists, working from models of a phenomenon never before directly observed, finally agreed that data from Voyager 1's tiny 80-kilobyte computer memory showed that the spacecraft had passed through termination shock to the "heliosheath," a frontier of unknown thickness that defines the border with interstellar space.
Stamatios Krimigis, another longtime Voyager scientist, said in a telephone interview that the spacecraft may remain in the heliosheath for perhaps 10 years but should easily survive, going dark only when its plutonium power source finally expires around 2020.
