Interesting graphic. In 41 years, Voyager 2 has only traveled the distance light would travel in about 16.5 hours. The premise of “Star Trek The Motion Picture” (set in 2271) was that Voyager (1) had been traveling into deep space for about three hundred years and was making its return trip. At that rate of travel (appr. 0.4 light hours x year), Voyager would have only traveled about 120 light hours in 300 years, or the distance light can travel in five days. Of course this assumes a constant rate of travel without any forces affecting acceleration/deceleration.

Works good, lasts a long time. For sure, not made in China.

18.5 billion miles traveled. In fine print it says "30 billion KM"...

I saw this earlier on a European website which took the information from NASA but had "18 billion kilometers." They didn't read the fine print.

[Does so]

34,191 MPH?

How many feet-per-second is that? ;)

etl,
thanks for the #3 posting graphic of Voyager2 facts.
So i guess it has traveled 16.5 ‘light-hours’ .....
