Human Crafts will reverberate through Galaxies for Eons

A Day in the Life of NASA's Voyagers
"At more than 10 billion miles away from Earth, there is no day and night. Time and space are fathomless and our Sun is a distant point of starlight — a faint reminder of the home NASA’s twin Voyagers, humanity’s farthest and longest-lived spacecraft, left behind 40 years ago.

The thought of them orbiting the entire galaxy over several hundred million years is astounding. We'll probably be long gone and these probes will most likely still be buzzing through the Milky Way for eons. 

Sometimes I wish I was Voyager. Floating endlessly in space, no wants or needs, nothing but starlight to guide my way into the unknown...
