Alan Cummings, a scientist who has been involved in the Voyager mission for over 50 years, believes that the two Voyager spacecraft will continue traveling for a billion years. The spacecraft, launched almost five decades ago, have made groundbreaking discoveries and are now in interstellar space. Despite running low on fuel and facing technical issues, Cummings is hopeful that the Voyagers can continue transmitting new data for a little longer, as they venture into uncharted territory beyond our solar system.
