Voyager I about to reach another milestone

The Voyager I has apparently entered the outer part of the heliosphere and will be entering interstellar space in the not too distant future. When Voyager does pass the heliopause it will mark the first time anything produced by humans other than radiation has reached interstellar space.

Voyager I has been traveling for 34.25 years. Light time to the spacecraft from Earth is currently 16.5 hours.
