Just shows us how far away we are from traveling interstellar space, Voyager 1 has been traveling 35 thousand MPH for 35+ years and it's still only on the edge of our own solar system.
Voyager has traveled:
11,000,000.000 miles.
Closest star system to earth:
25,689,592,881,951.000 miles.
If my maths right Voyager could reach Alpha Centauri in about 73,000 years.
Mind boggling
