This, honestly, makes my heart endearingly warm. Voyager 1 is 11,000,000,000 from home and still going strong, and will until about 2020-2025. How most of the world will miss this is saddening, this brings a giant smile to my face, like so:

I just think it sucks that Voyager 1 only has about a decade of life left. Then we will have to wait for some time before another space probe can be as useful. Unfortunately, we in the States have pretty much pulled out of the space race -- which is pitiful.
