First some impressive numbers: Mankind’s most traveled space probes have been on their way for 45 years and eight months and are still more or less healthy. Voyager 2 left Earth on August 20, 1977 at Cape Canaveral, Voyager 1 followed two weeks later, on September 5. Voyager 1 is currently 23.9 billion kilometers (159 times the distance between Earth and Sun, AU) and Voyager 2 19.9 billion kilometers (133 AU) away from us.
