Why haven't they launched another Voyager?

Seems like as much as technology has improved, they would.

Probably waiting on next-gen propulsion, then off we go.

Who says they haven't?

They’ve launched probes to distant planets/objects since. They didn’t call them Voyager but that’s just a name. The two Voyager probes too it’s important to remember were able to visit as many planets as they did because of how the planets lined up at the time.

Money...NASA has a limited budget and they've been focusing on the new Artemis Program as returning to the Moon and eventually Mars is a big focus right now.
NASA needs more funding because the Chinese are full on wither their Space Program

I’m not trying to be snooty but what’s the point? Voyager 1 is still going and will soon reach intersteller (between stars) space.
“Soon” is relative.
It is still 300 years away from reaching the zone in space referred to as the Oort Cloud.
It will then take 30,000 years to travel to the outer limits of the Oort Cloud and another 300,000 years to reach the area of its first star. Even then it will be 1.2 light years away from that star.
Until we learn how to bend time, as Einstein theorized, it’s useless to think we can truly explore distant space.

NASA is nothing more than a contracting agency blowing billions in kickbacks to politically important congressional districts.
Every year they focus less on space and more on who they are helping out, which isn't the public.

Seriously? Look at the damn thing.

Ummm because the mission happened to take advantage of a planetary alignment that only happens every 175 years AKA The Grand Tour
So if you are saying you want another mission that can visit Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune in one mission then you're going to have to wait

Because Captain Janeway sucked.

Yeah, but Seven of Nine canceled Janeway out...
