Two completely different trajectories??
What the heck are you talking about?
They are quite similar. It would not at this point say they are identical.
In WHAT way are they _completely different_, elaborate please.
And don't be so d** arrogant, for christ sake.
I could mention that the foremost celest mechanican in my country says they
are strangly similar, and he has been working for NASA and the Voyagers,
and he has
an asteroid named after him.
