Ask an Explainer
Q:
How far have rockets gone (robots included)?
A:
As of 2013, the farthest any spacecraft has traveled from Earth is approximately 18,500,000,000 km (11,500,000,000 miles). Voyager 1 and 2 have traveled this distance and are currently exploring the heliosheath, which is located much farther away from Earth than Pluto.
