From JPL's website on Voyager:

"Eventually, the Voyagers will pass other stars. In about 40,000 years, Voyager 1 will drift within 1.6 light years (9.3 trillion miles) of AC+79 3888, a star in the constellation of Camelopardalis. In some 296,000 years, Voyager 2 will pass 4.3 light years (25 trillion miles) from Sirius, the brightest star in the sky."

Voyager 1 will be 1 Light Year from Earth in 17,177 years.

How does this make you feel?

I wish I could put that on the morning announcements at school. I have a felling some religiontard would get offended though.

It was real the reason we haven't been back is because there is no reason too spend that much money. The technology is there (Voyager 1 is on the edge of interstellar space) and we have the money but sense 1969 there has been economic situations and crises along with NASA cutbacks forcing us to stay in LEO where it is profitable to a degree.

Coolest space probe ever

Does anybody know of any up-to-date data on the web?

Voyager I, checking into /sci/.
