How Far Can Voyager 1 Travel?

  • 22 billion kilometers in over 40 years, that's the distance Voyager 1 has traveled since its launch in the late 1970s! The question is, how far can Voyager 1 travel? Will this probe one day reach a distant star system as humanity's first ambassador and, if so, will we possibly get an answer from there? The Voyager probes are regarded as milestones in space exploration and they have provided us with never-before-seen images and impressions of the outer planets. That was supposed to be the end of it, but their mission has continued to this day. Can Voyager 1 really fly forever and what will it see on this long journey?

      we gotta explore somehow. But that golden disk with Earths location and literally everything about us was kinda silly, we coulda left that stuff out.

      if an unkown species has the technology to find Voyager 1, it surely has the ability to track radio signals coming from our planet and find where earth is located based on the radio signals. Hence, it can find earth even without finding the probe.

      Depending if humanity survives into the distant future if any life forms find it they'll have a shock with how much advanced we have become since sending the voyager out there! Just look how much we've advanced in technology since sending the voyager to space... I'm just hoping future generations aren't all p***ys and would actually fight for earth if it actually came to it

      Nah ion agree with that. Think something like satellites or highly expensive/specialized products will always have people working on them who want to be there, and who want to build the best possible version. Not exactly a high volume industry, thus not many minimum or slave wage workers who usually could give less of a shit about the quality of the product…

    I think in a thousand years or so we will have developed technology so that humanity will surpass the Voyager probes. Eventually we will follow the probes with whatever space craft/probes we have at that time and immortalize them as the start of human space exploration.

    Probably doesn't have the speed to escape the galaxy but it along with the other Voyager , Pioneer 10 and 11 and New Horizons could end up anywhere roughly along their last known routes but gravity from stars might alter their courses.Although it's not really worth worrying about as they probably won't pass anything for hundreds of thousands of years.

    Perhaps if either of the Voyagers make contact with another species at least they will have knowledge of our civilization which I believe will be long extinct .
    What I find amazing is that humanity has yet to discover absolute proof of another source of life although we have many credible examples of encounters with aliens.
