It goes 38,210 mph, while light speed is 186,000 miles per second. We just launched Orion at max speed of 22,500 mph to the moon. Just going to say we're still in the early stages of space travel, as well as talking about such a vastly large separation of speed between what's current with Voyager and the speed of light, so I think we got some time to see if we can't surpass and catch up to that thing. For shits and giggles, I mean, science.

Google says voyagers speed is about 65.000km per hour. So that’s about 0.02% the speed of light.

I’m pretty sure we don’t need to be faster than the speed of light to catch up.
