Voyager is Far Away

Monday, August 20, 2007

Space.com has this one:
Voyager 1 currently is the farthest human-made object at a distance from the sun of about 9.7 billion miles (15.6 billion kilometers). Voyager 2 is about 7.8 billion miles (12.6 billion kilometers).
9.7 billion miles is a long, long way.

Think about it. If you had 9.7 billion miles on American Airlines, you would almost be guaranteed a first class upgrade from DFW to SFO on a Monday!
