The findings, combined with other spacecraft data, indicate that Voyager 1 left
the heliosphere on or about 25 August 2012, when the craft was 121
astronomical units (18 billion kilometres) from the Sun.

As a space nut, I am excited.

It is an extension of mankind out so far, kinda epic, amazing to me.

I hope it dont end up like that Star trek I saw, where it came back looking for the creator. Kirk owned it of course.

According to Star Trek lore V'ger created the Borg. I for one do not wish for its return.

Captain Kirk is not here to save us from it.

Thanks for the links Dowly, simply amazing! Congrats to the Voyager Team also!

Awesome stuff, it's made good speed considering the size of the solar system.

Good luck Voyager!

In terms of disaster that was nothing compared to the other Voyager Earth sent out.
