It is interesting to note that the Voyager Probes are approximately 13-14 billion miles (about 15 light-hours) away out towards the bow shock and heliopause of the Solar System and will continue to travel out into interstellar space, as of 2012. They will probably take about another 40000 years at their current speed to reach the nearest neighboring star outside the Solar System.
