Sorry, Trekkies, this isn’t a reference to that sorry spinoff (I’m a ‘Next Gen’ man meself).
What’s the status of our deepest deep-space probe, Voyager? Where is it at this point? What’s the next thing we’re expecting to get from it (if anything in our lifetimes)?
Where is it headed? Any particular points of galactic interest in its long-term future?

Actually, The Voyager(s) isn’t the “deepest” space probe. Pioneer is, and it left the Solar System more than a decade ago. Voyager I and II weren’t technically “deep space” probes. Their primary missions were to explore the gas giants, which they’ve already done. The only potential “deep space” mission I can think of is the far fetched one of introducing our species to sentient life outside our system. That’s what the “gold phonograph record” was all about. As far as I know JPL lost touch with these probes, long ago.
