Voyager 1 has been traveling through space for 40 years, but it still hasn't completely left our solar system. That must mean that it's creeping along slowly, right?

Well, not exactly.

Let's compare the speed of Voyager 1 to things here on Earth that we consider to be pretty fast.

Why "the last evidence we've ever existed"?
Guaranteed, before the sun dies we'll send lots of other stuff in outer space, even ourselves.

Voyager 1’s route is how my grandparents tell me they got to school

[vbgvbg]

This is relaxing, it’s a nice slow talk about *fast*

Buggati driver : IM THE FASTEST
Voyager 1 : hold my golden record

Imagine if Voyager 1 suddenly remembered it had left its wallet at home. Bummer.

[allanleon]

Fact: Somewhere in the world there is a Honda Civic owner who sincerely believes they could catch up. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

If voyager had to go through indian traffic it would have only reached the moon by

[NinaFelwitch]

I like to imagine that in ten or a hundred million years, when humans are already long extinct, another species will start the exploration of their solar system far away. Then they find Voyager 1 crashed into one of their moons, being their first evidence for extraterrestial life, even though its creators are already dead.

In another 14, 560 years, Voyager one will be one full Lightyear from Earth.

A light year. Which is an an enormous distance away from Earth. But it's less than 25% away from the nearest star other than our own.

21 billon kilometers is what Australians living inland have to travel when going to the shops

[mateagoston]

Even light would need almost a day to overtake Voyager 1! :O

[PolyClubGaming]

If it don't get hit by a meteor or by a high energy particle beam from a neutron star or one of the huge explosions which happens in space

[gregedwards]

Even at the Speed of Light it would take almost a Day (about 21 hours) to reach Voyager.
With the vast distances of the Cosmos the Speed of Light is only just chugging along at a relative snails pace.

When being forced to listen to elevator music, any trip can seem like an eternity.

[vladen]

wow. Just imagine humans find some kind of "alien-voyager 1 " someday just to find out it's origin planet was destroyed millions of years ago.

[Joege]

Everyone keeps asking wheres voyager 1?
But no one asks *"Hows Voyager 1?"*

[Webberjo]

I want to see something moving 17km/s on the Earth's surface, really show off just how fast that is in relation to us.
Edit: I meant from a perspective you can actually register, such as from the ISS.

Alien - *reads note attached to Voyager 1* "Hello, we've been trying to contact you about your vehicles warranty"

Voyager 1 is fast but, this video is very slow 🤗
