That “Oort Cloud” does not sound inviting.


Don't worry. That diagram has distances on a logarithmic scale, so given that it took 30-ish years to get to 100AU it'll take another 300-400 years to get to the cloud. It won't exit the cloud for for 250,000 years or such.

Humans will be the only ones to see voyager. We will most likely develop interstellar travel before that thing leaves the OORT cloud.
