Voyager was about 70,000 light-years away from home, and crew would often use “75 years”

as the time it would take to get back home at top speed

. This means the Voyager series used the old method of Warp calculation. 70,000/9.9753 is roughly 71 years.

Voyager 1 is moving away from our solar system so fast that it could make it from the Sun to the Earth – a 93 million mile trip – in 3 months and a week. Both spacecraft are slowing down, but this is because

they’re still escaping the gravitational pull of our Sun

.
