How much faster than Voyager 1 do you think humans could make a similar mass probe? Voyager was slungshot around Jupiter and Saturn... could we take a mission closer to pick up more energy or swing it back and do a second, third, fourth pass?

Is there an upper limit? I don't think friction is an issue.

Fun note, Voyager 2 got a third gravitational assist from Uranus and was going faster but they slowed it down using Neptune to get close to the moon Triton.

After 48 years, 11 months, 4 days, 22 hours, and 35 minutes, Voyager 1 is approximately 25.6 billion km (15.9 billion miles) from the Earth.

That's 171.012 au or, at the speed of light, 23h 42m 15s.

From the Sun, Voyager 1 is approximately 25.6 billion km (15.9 billion miles or 171.415 au.)

Velocity relative to the Earth is about 37 km/sec (~84,719 mph); to the Sun about 16 km/sec (~37,763 mph.)

Voyager 1's position has been updated via NASA's new JSON information.

Corrections have been applied and both @voyager1 and @voyager2 should have (more) correct distances from tomorrow.

Also added the light-time to their profile descriptions because why not.

Horribly (and I mean HORRIBLY) crufty code at https://git.rjp.is/rjp/voyagers if anyone is interested.
