Behind her sister Voyager 1.
What happened to the Space Program one may wonder ? Oh yeah Jimmy Carter lost in 1980 to Ronald Reagan ,whose cabinet of war hawks . came along and gave us Star Wars and suckernomics which we never recovered from , countless wars and $23 trillion in debt 40 years later.
Why Voyager 2's discoveries from interstellar space have scientists excited
Voyager 2, first launched in 1977, is the second human-made machine to have officially entered interstellar space. Her companion spacecraft, Voyager 1, accomplished the feat in 2013. The data being returned by both spacecraft - having passed beyond the heliosphere, past where solar winds still blow plasma outward from the sun - have scientists excited.

Scientists speculate that one day we may be able to create something called the Alcubierre Warp Drive, which sounds like something from Star Trek, but has a basis in reality. The warp drive would not so much propel a spacecraft as it would manipulate space itself, compressing it ahead of the spacecraft and stretching it behind, riding a "warp bubble" to achieve faster than light speeds.
