I take that back, Voyager is doing lots of science. ;-)

Paving the way for an interstellar probe is a nice one. Getting to 13-15 AU a year drive propulsion or a adequate solar sail system is the tough part. To think it only takes 6 months for a CME to reach voyager.

Excellent reading at the National Academies site, Thanks.
