Voyager 1's journey nears 28 years

NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft has entered the solar system's final frontier, a vast, turbulent expanse where the Sun's influence ends and the solar wind crashes into the thin gas between stars. Long-life nuclear batteries are expected to provide electrical power until at least 2020 when Voyager 1 will be more than 13 billion miles from Earth and may have reached interstellar space.

Voyager 1
Voyager 1 is a message of hope. Something in short supply here on earth, especially since learning of the Bush administration's wish to cut funding for this program.
Voyager 1 may be the only thing left of us in a few years.

Give me a break.
This is a non political story about voyager 1 reaching the outer limits of our solar system, not about your personal apocalyptic feelings. Sorry.
