"New data from the spacecraft, which I will discuss below, indicate Voyager 1 may have exited the solar system for good. If true, this would mark a truly historic moment for the human race — sending a spacecraft beyond the edge of our home solar system."

Although I am a critic of both NASA and Star Trek, I do have to admit that this news is pretty cool.

Theyve been expecting this for a couple years now. Hope fully the data confirms it.

Pretty exiting news i would say, but i also predict that in 125 years we will have ways to travel ultrafast through space and Voyager(s) will be picked up and put in a museum somewhere.
