re: #7 Eclectic Cyborg

That should really help illustrate how big our universe is. It took voyager 30 plus years just to get out of OUR GALAXY. The universe contains hundreds, possibly thousands of galaxies.

Really, really, really, freakin big

Even bigger than that.

Voyager is nowhere close to leaving the galaxy. You and I will be long dead before that happens, if it ever does. The craft has just left the gravitational boundaries of one solar system out of ~200 billion solar systems that make up the Milky Way galaxy.
