I’m not trying to be snooty but what’s the point? Voyager 1 is still going and will soon reach intersteller (between stars) space.

“Soon” is relative.

It is still 300 years away from reaching the zone in space referred to as the Oort Cloud.

It will then take 30,000 years to travel to the outer limits of the Oort Cloud and another 300,000 years to reach the area of its first star. Even then it will be 1.2 light years away from that star.

Until we learn how to bend time, as Einstein theorized, it’s useless to think we can truly explore distant space.
