Now I don’t know how to treat my mild envy. Should it still be envy? Maybe it’s potential envy.

3 letter ones are surprisingly valuable, since there's 17,576 of them... I've had people offer to buy it off me

And the Voyager/Star Trek IV reference would make it even more so I’d think.

It helps that voyager is in fact my favorite series of the franchise :) And Voyager 2 is still my favorite mission

My potential envy has now converted back to actual envy then. Star Trek IV was the best of the movies (though Khan was good too). I hadn’t considered a favorite mission. Why Voyager II?

Just timing... I was in 8th grade and had just gotten into astronomy a couple of years earlier (86, Halley's comet) during the Neptune flyby. Did a class report where we had to choose a planet and I chose neptune. Just a few months before V2 flyby and the gorgeous photos came in.
