    I remember it being launched.
    It’ll come back to haunt us in a future episode of Star Trek.

    It's kind of crazy how far interstellar space is from earth (12,161,300,000 miles or
    19,571,301,703 km)
    There is 3,681,000 in the Usa & Canada altogether it's one week of work for each driver long haul @ 3303 miles. It's very humbling how large the universe really is & how small our planet is in comparison. Voyager 2 is traveling at a speed of 35,000 mph. Its remarkable how it took 4 decades to reach that far. However, If it was travelling at Light Speed it would of only taken 18 hrs & 8 mins.
