NASA halted Pioneer 10 signals after 25 years, ending the longest American space program. The craft, launched March 2, 1972, despite vast distance and dwindling power, opened routes to outer planets and carries a gold plaque intended to communicate with any intelligent life that may encounter it in the distant future.
