Congratulations humans!!
NASA has announced that the Voyager 1 spacecraft has become the first man-made object to venture out of our solar system into interstellar space. We awake now to the dawn of interstellar travel.
Also according to NASA, Voyager 1 is more than 125.4 astronomical units, or 18,759,573,023.4 kilometers from the Earth. This distance is equivalent to circling the Earth around the equator more than 468,111 times. Driving your car non-stop at 65 mile/hour (104.607 kilometers/hour), you would reach this distance in approximately 20,471 years!
Smile! We are now interstellar beings.
